I hired Erlina Perez to represent me in a difficult divorce involving a custody dispute. During this very difficult time, Erlina was always available to answer my questions and concerns, She would promptly return my calls and answer my emails, even on weekends. She was always available. She fought hard for custody on my son and to get me the appropriate amount of support, despite my Husband's refusal to negotiate reasonably. She knew the ins and outs of the court and was always very knowledgeable regarding the divorce process. Most importantly, she was very compassionate and understanding of the ordeal I was going through. I am so happy I hired her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent divorce lawyer!

I had the pleasure of working with Erlina Perez. She helped me as I filed to obtain custody of my 6 year son and also obtain child support. I knew it wasn't something I would be able to handle on my own, and I'm glad I didn't. During the process of my case, Erlina was always quick to answer any questions I had and was extremely helpful in making me understand every process and what I am entitled to. I never had to wonder what was going on because she always kept me updated. She made me feel comfortable and secure about everything that was going on. When it finally came down to going to the courthouse to finally close my case, the Court had actually made an error. Erlina quickly picked it up and made sure it was corrected right away so that I walked away with everything I deserved. I am grateful to have had her as my attorney and will recommend her to anyone who is going through what I had to go through.

Erlina handled the annulment of my marriage effectively. The adversary tried to drag out the case with untrue claims and intimidation. Erlina focused on the facts and got the case resolved in 6 months in my favor. A lot of people told me annulments were rare and hard to get in New Jersey because it is a "no fault" state. I knew my case did merit an annulment and was relieved to find a lawyer who fought for the same. Erlina was great with working over email/phone. I had to make sure I kept my full time job through the case so as to pay my bills. I went to their offices only once and completed the rest of the paperwork/consultation over phone/email which was good.

I recently was a client for Erlina, she assisted me with my divorce. I liked the fact that she explained the plan, followed through on it and always kept me updated on what was going on and what the next step would be.

Aww, look at that little boopy! She looks so much like you (well, to me anyway...)
And by the way, I didn't really find a rock that looked like Vince; I was just being silly. (besides, if I had found one I'd sleep with it in bed next to me at night...) ;)

Some people think she looks like me, but mostly people say she looks like Jeremy. People who knew me when I was little can see more of me in her I guess. If I get to scan some baby pics of Jeremy you'll see a huge resemblance.
He grew up in the house we live in now, and I found baby pictures of Jeremy doing some of the same things here that she does. It was weird. One shows him kissing the mirror in what is now Violet's room, which is something she does alot. It's funny.

I think the biggest resemblance I see is in her eyes and eyebrows. (that probably sounds weird, but...)
People think Celest looks more like me than Lotus, and I think it is mainly because we both have broad foreheads compared to our small chins (yes, I just described a head that is shaped like an egg...).
Lotus was born second, so she has a nice, round head! :)

Rhino Hero
Product Description:
Super Rhino! presents players with an incredibly heroic and regrettably heavy rhinoceros who is eager to climb a tall building and leap other tall buildings in a single bound. First, though, you need to construct that building.
Players each start the game with five roof cards, and they take turns adding walls and roofs to a single building. On a turn, you first place walls on the highest floor, then you choose a roof card in your hand and place it on the wall. Each roof card bears markings that indicate where the next player must place walls on the card. In addition, some roof cards force a player to perform special actions, such as placing a second roof, changing the direction of play, or moving Super Rhino to a new location on the tower. Keep your hands steady!
The first player to build all of his roof cards wins the game. Alternatively, if the building collapses, the player who caused the collapse automatically loses, and the player with the fewest roof cards in hand wins.

First three months
Babies cry a lot. During those periods when they are awake, they might cry as much as all their other active phases combined. Some days the baby can be quiet much of the day and on other days, there will be considerable crying, calmed by feeding, changing or holding.
Feeding is erratic too, with nursing lasting from 10 to 45 minutes on each breast. You will observe easy startling, hiccups, sneezes, and spitting up.
Most babies sleep restlessly. They are light sleepers and startle at the slightest noise. When you observe your baby sleeping, you will notice many expressions and noises. The baby can whimper, smile, frown, sneer and grimace. Most sleep periods are brief naps, and there are one or two longer deep sleep periods lasting around four hours. (Parents Guide To Safe Sleep Position)
Most of the movements respond to stimulation as a reflex. The baby usually lies on his back with one arm flexed upward on the side he faces and
the opposite arm at his side. He cannot support his head well although he can pick it up and turn it when he lies on his stomach. He cannot lift it long, but he can turn it long enough to clear his nostrils. If you pull him up he will support his head momentarily. He will keep his fists clenched, but will not hold objects placed in his hands. He will stare at objects, but does not try to reach them.
You can expect him to smile at your face or your voice. He will respond to your smile or voice with a smile. Sleep patterns and daytime waking periods are not consistent and change frequently.
Infants will feed about every three hours with two meals through the night. Bowel movements can vary from one every five days to one with every feeding. Your baby can gain ½ to 1 ounce of weight each day.
Things tend to start to settle down in the second month. Her feeding patterns are more regular or dependable. She might prefer a sleeping or feeding position, and object if this position is changed. Sleeping patterns can be predicted for most 2 month old infants. Many babies are sleeping through the night. Waking time during the day lengthens. She will be more inter-reactive and respond with cooing sounds or smiles.
Motor activity will increase. She is now able to hold her head up at an angle for several minutes. Her neck muscles are stronger so that she can keep her head erect with only slight bobbing. She will start to swing at things and hold them briefly.
Her attention increases with alertness to sounds. Her crying periods persist, but are more organized. She might cry near rest periods or before her night time sleep period. Crying often serves as a tension reliever. A certain amount of crying is important in this regard. I encourage you to allow you child to fuss or cry short periods up to 10 minutes at a time, because of the important role crying serves in normal development.
Mobiles are good at this age. If you place them about 10 inches away she will enjoy and follow them. She will get excited to see certain objects and will swing at them. She will anticipate feeding when a bottle is placed nearby or even at the sight of her mother who nurses her.
She enjoys other members of the family. She will quiet herself or become excited when seeing them. She will follow your face and move her head as you move yours. She will enjoy her bath.
She will eat less often at night and might sleep the night. Her bowel movements are less frequent and can become firmer or formed.
Babies continue to improve socially. They are awake and increase their responses to you and their environment. They make more sounds and show many new expressions to reflect their mood. They have increased muscle strength, but continue to lie flat most of the time. Sleep patterns are more dependable. You can definitely predict the nap time and its length. His concentration is improving and you will notice him stare at objects for much longer periods. He recognizes sounds and shapes, and can quite distracted by familiar or unfamiliar sounds and objects. He will have much more purposeful use of his hands, striking at new objects or familiar sights. This is his first efforts at hand coordination.
This is a time you enjoy increased activity together with play, making faces and noises together. Your increased attention is rewarded with the warm responses from your baby.
Motor development changes from the reflexes controlling all his movements to more controlled body movement. You noticed when you picked him up a month or two earlier, his body was limp. Now when you pick him up, he tenses and coils up. His head strength is much improved too, and he will keep it elevated for many minutes while he looks around. When you pick him up, he will stiffen his legs as if he wishes to stand. I frequently am asked if you can cause bowlegs by let your baby stay in this standing position. The fact is that you can not cause bowlegs by allowing you baby to push upward and support his weight on his legs. When he is tired, he will relax his legs and sit or lie flat. He will sit now with less support and keep his head fairly erect. He swinging at objects now, but misses frequently. He will not grasp them effectively.
He will watch objects for up to an hour, following any movement from side to side. He also watches his own hands and feet attentively. It appears as if he is becoming aware of his hands and feet as part of himself.
He is very aware of persons, quieting at the sight or sound of a recognized person or persons. He will stop eating or sucking at the sound or sight of a familiar object or person. He will talk back to a familiar person or thing by making cooing sounds or chortling.
These are some of the many complex things babies do during the first 3 months of life. This is not a comprehensive listing, but there are many books at the local book stores that can aid you in determining if your baby is developing appropriately for their age.

- 69% of Philadelphians were born in Philadelphia
- 12% were born outside the United States
- 49% of Philadelphians are unmarried; 8% are widowed
- one in six doctors in the United States receive medical training in Philadelphia
- 80% of pretzels in the country are manufactured in Pennsylvania.
Such statistics, given to us in Rimini Protokoll's Fringearts-presented 100% PHILADELPHIA, tell us about our city, but the story is fragmentary and incomplete. To fill out the picture, the German performance group recruited 105 real Philadelphians (well, mostly civic- or artistic-minded Philadelphians, but "real" nonetheless) to represent the city's diverse demographics, mirroring the age, race, neighborhood, marital status, and gender breakdowns of Philadelphia's population.
This representative pool contains some characters, seven-year-old Brent Brown, who brought a camping chair with him "because I like sitting"; Jessica Kalup, who has a tattoo-sleeve of Philadelphia icons (liberty bell, Wawa symbol "I went twice today", the LOVE symbol); fiercely-proud Egyptian-born Wadeed Tewfik. The group are asked questions, and divide themselves into mostly yes-or-no groups by a variety of means: moving across stage, flashing lights, color boards. A few question series throw up intriguing results: "Did you serve in Vietnam?" (4 people); "Did you support the Iraq War after 9/11?" (two of the vets leave, about a dozen join the "yes" group); "Do you support President Obama's decision to attack ISIS in Iraq and Syria?" (some of the yeses leave, but the group more than doubles in size). Generally, though, the representational Philly audience applauds loudly for conventionally liberal opinions (pro-education, pro-gay marriage, the very existence of Native Americans) and there isn't too much to surprise in the 100%'s answers. Still, it's nice to see a snapshot of Philadelphia onstage, in a block party of unity, dancing to music by the fun-minded TJ Kong & the Atomic Bomb.

Highridge - Burbank Hills, California
The Master Planned Community of Burbank Hills was the result of 2 million yards of grading, 2 miles of public and private storm drain construction, as well as water reservoirs totaling 1.5 million gallons. While reviving a project in foreclosure, Rutter was able to renegotiate the Development Agreement with the City, process jurisdictional agreements with the Army Corps of Engineers and California Fish & Game. While finish lots were then sold to Merchant Builders, Rutter retained the estate lots. With the quintessential blend of commanding views, consummate privacy and magnificent luxury, Highridge is the crown jewel of the prestigious Burbank Hills community. Each unique site possesses stunning architectural detailing, superb craftsmanship in the rich Rutter Tradition and a variety of floor plans and elevations. The one- and two-story homes, ranging from 3,600 to 6,200 square feet, are designed for uncompromised luxury living, with up to 7 bedrooms and baths, 6-car garages, lavish master suites, gourmet kitchens and full-volume ceilings—ensuring exquisite views from within that rival the exterior panoramas. The discriminating residents of Highridge also enjoy attended entry, private streets and a standard of living that clearly redefines opulence.

Based on the concept of the earlier Clay series, Maarten Baas presents The Plain Collection at Spazio Rossana Orlandi during Salone del Mobile 2011.
In this rudimentary Clay series the finger prints of the hands that squeezed the clay are still visible, making each piece of furniture a unique product. For the restaurant of the Groninger Museum, the material has been developed further in order to make it stronger for public use.
The clay of the Plain Collection is treated in such way that the pieces don't need to be lacquered like the original Clay series. Through a special technique, the material is pigmented in order to create the three different colours of the collection: Black, Red and Natural.
All pieces are handmade in The Netherlands.
Maarten Baas' pieces are all unique and handmade, though produced in series, most are signed and numbered by Maarten Baas. Maarten is searching for the boundaries of design, without leaning on the regular "dos and don'ts".View designer's page

The Harmony of the Spheres is the classic musical metaphor for a meaningful universe. It's roots are ancient, going back to at least 3000 BC in Sumeria. The theory was updated by Pythagoras around 500 BC, and by Johannes Kepler around 1600 AD. But does it still make sense in the 21st century? Let's find out, shall we?
First things first: what is the Harmony of the Spheres? Well, it's supposed to be an inaudible, harmonious, humming kind of sound (yep, confusing) produced by the planets as they spin around the Earth or the Sun (depending on the exact moment in history). Each planet is said to produce its own typical sound or note, according to its orbit, size, weight and so on. Together, the planets produce a nice big fat interplanetary major chord, or something like that.
Creation myth
To get a better idea of the Harmony of the Spheres-meme we should look at the function of myths. And we don't mean false ideas. Myths are deep, archetypal stories about the Gods, the beginning of the Universe and about heroic adventures ~ from Hercules to King Arthur or even Steve Jobs. The Book of Genesis is an example of an oldskool creation myth, the Big Bang is a modern science-based creation myth. The Harmony of the Spheres is not always thought of as a creation myth but it is one, as Plato shows in the Timaeus in a numerological story about the creation of the World Soul.
If you don't know Joseph Campbell's monomyth theory and his ideas about the role of myths in the context of personal growth, shared values, social cohesion and so on we recommend checking it out.
Update or perish
Campbell points out that ancient myths do not have eternal life. A fully functional myth has to account for most of the knowledge and experiences shared by the members of the society that has produced (or inherited) the myth. That's why myths need updates every now and then. Otherwise they become stale, artificial and eventually obsolete as a culture develops, and as science progresses. The need for a revision is quite clear in the case of religious myths found in the Bible (a project that seems to be failing). The ancient idea that the sky is ordered by the Gods in a musical way also needs a little update because since Johannes Kepler's last major revision, some 400 years ago, astronomers, astrologers, philosophers and tuning theorists have developed new insights.
By the way, a meaningful universe is perhaps not the most popular concept right now but the mechanistic myth responsible for this attitude (in the last few centuries) may again become obsolete.
A short history of The Hum
Through the ages, many texts have been written about the Harmony of the Spheres. A good introduction is The Harmony of the Spheres by Joscelyn Godwin. We'll just outline some important developments.
1. Earliest sources
Contrary to popular belief Pythagoras did not 'invent' The Hum. It's obvious that he was inspired by more ancient sources. In recent years the earliest part of the story has been rewritten by Ernest G. McClain. We've discussed some of his insights over here but if you want to dive right in, his book The Myth of Invariance is a great place to start. Another crucial text is The Pythagorean Plato.
Building on the insights of McClain, the Dutch musician/philosopher Siemen Terpstra has uncovered a 'lost' musical heritage in the writings of Pre-Socratic philosopers like Heraclitus, Anaximander and Parmenides. His work in progress Separating the Earth and the Sky is essential stuff. But in his study The Planetary Monochord Terpstra actually 'debunks' the Harmony of the Spheres insofar as it's based on a classic Pythagorean kind of scale, for reasons of tuning precision. In a paper titled The Law of the Octave and Natural Resonances Terpstra finds that 53-tet (dividing an octave in 53 equal parts) fits some of the important cycles in the solar system quite well.
2. Pythagoras
Just like Socrates, Pythagoras never wrote anything down. If you'd search for ancient texts describing the Harmony of the Spheres you'd be disappointed. The first references in writing come from Plato and Aristotle. A few centuries later, detailed proposals for a 'Planetary Monochord' start surfacing in the Hellenistic world. These are usually attributed to Pythagoras but that's mostly a matter of convention. Nevertheless, the concept of a consonant harmonic hum produced by the planets is well established around this period. The influence of the old body of texts on medieval and renaissance philosophy and music is considerable. Think Boethius, Marsilio Ficino and so on.
3. Johannes Kepler
The astronomer/astrologer Johannes Kepler was obsessed with interplanetary harmony. He worked on the most interesting, and also the most scientific update of the Harmony of the Spheres since Pythagoras. His masterpiece Harmonices Mundi is quite perplexing. It's a wonderful blend of cutting edge 17th century astronomy and Pythagorean/Platonic esoterica. Kepler is sure that our solar system sounds like a big major chord but if we examine his calculations using 21st century astronomical insights, we have to conclude that his model is a bit too simple and fanciful. So we could say that Harmonices Mundi marks the end of a great musical creation myth, because of a lack of physical proof. But wait, perhaps there's more.
21st century celestial numerology
If we simply think of harmonia universalis as physical order based on stuff like Pythagorean whole number ratios, resonance and so on, we can find more complex but equally harmonious patterns in the proportions of the solar system. A small group of renegade astronomers is currently working on a theory about physical interactions between the Sun and the planets. Certain couplings between the most important bodies of the solar system seem to keep the planets, the dwarf planets, the asteroids and the smaller cosmic debris in their proper place. In turn, the planets may be influencing the activity of the Sun. It's a controversial theory but it's one of the best we have. (Mainstream astronomers don't really know how the Sun works, they can't even predict solar activity cycles properly.)
Funny enough those same renegade scientists are also taking celestial numerology to the next level using the Golden Ratio or Φ ~ a number strongly related to harmonic proportions. If these calculations are correct it would seem that the solar system, or rather the cosmos is replete with harmonic numerology. Sounds rather familiar, doesn't it?
By the way, if you wonder why you've never heard of these guys before, that's because their research has implications for the global warming debate, which is so politicized that right now scientific theories or even facts don't matter. Furthermore, the idea that the planets influence the activity of the Sun smells of astrology. So there are two compelling reasons for career-scientists to avoid this stuff.
To Hum or not to Hum
From a 21st century point of view we may safely conclude that the solar system does not produce a monumental major chord. Not even close says Siemen Terpstra and who are we to disagree. But wait, The Hum is an inaudible sound, so who cares, right? In this case, arguments based on precision alone are just (pseudo)scientific talk.
The fundamental idea behind the Harmony of the Spheres isn't so much the imaginary cosmic noise. The massive interplanetary chord is a metaphor and it should not be taken too literally (the string in string theory is also a musical metaphor; the whole of nature is pretty much one big wave phenomenon). Basically, the Harmony of the Spheres is a creation myth about Divine Harmony with a capital H in the sense of a meaningful, harmoniously ordered Universe.
To research this layer of The Hum we need a specialized toolkit. Physics and astronomy don't deal in meaning. Astrology is a better tool for this job, especially since it uses a combination of astronomical, metaphorical and even mythological concepts. Fortunately, and contrary to popular belief, this doesn't mean that we have to throw out objectivity. If the concept of scientific astrology sounds a bit paradoxical, that's because it's relatively hard to produce rigorous proof using astrological techniques but it's possible in principle. In fact, the 21st century combination of big data and machine learning makes this kind of research a bit easier. It can for example reveal collective 'astrological' patterns in human behaviour.
On that note, the last word is for the scientific astrologer and mystic Theodor Landscheidt. Here's a quote from an article he published in The Astrological Journal in May 1998 (volume 40 nr. 3).
Kepler was the first and last astronomer who looked seriously at ratios of distances of the planets from the Sun. In his "Mysterium cosmographicum" he related the distances of the planets to the Platonic solids. The attitude of modern science towards such an approach was correctly expressed by Nobel prize recipient Weinberg: "Kepler went wrong in supposing that the planets are important. We now understand that the planets and their orbits are the result of a sequence of historical accidents and that there is no reason to expect any relations among the sizes of their orbits that would be mathematically simple and beautiful."
Yet it was Kepler who turned out to be on the right track. When I investigated the ratios of distances from the Sun of pairs of neighbouring planets - Mercury's distance to Venus' distance. Venus' distance to Earth's distance and so on including the mean distance of the planetoids - and calculated the mean of these nine individual ratios to get a quantity that characterizes the solar system as a whole, I was astonished to find that this value 0.62 is close to the Golden number 0.618 when the perihelion distances are taken. The very small difference 0.002 might be looked at as a stability parameter that indicates how far the actual structure of the planetary distances in the solar system deviates from the ideal state defined by the Golden section. [...] Thus we can see how the stabilising function of the Golden section governs the distance structure of the planets and thereby counteracts chaos in the planetary orbits caused by resonance amplification of mutual disturbances. In the end, this balance of potentials of stability and instability preserves the solar system's structure over billions of years. [...] If we step back and scan the bigger picture, it becomes evident that astrological aspects have deep roots that go down to the Platonic realm of mathematical structures encompassing as abstract features as the polarity of rational and irrational numbers. And who would have thought that valid aspects are based on a physical principle that guarantees the stability of dynamical systems including the solar system, our cosmic home.

The Man in the Arena/
I have had a burning, conflicting, paradox within me, it's plagued me my entire life.
As a small child my Father would always say, "Do it right or don't do it at all" well, the "don't do it at all" part meant a spanking, so what choice did I have really? Those words spoke to me that I should always do my best. There was never an option for "that's good enough". I have often felt paralyzed in trying new things or sharing my skills with others because I couldn't do things perfectly.
strive |strīv|verb (past strove |strōv| or strived; past participle striven|strivən| or strived) [ no obj. ]make great efforts to achieve or obtain something
In the Christian faith, we are instructed not to strive. We are taught that because of Christ coming to earth, (God in the form of man) we are set free from striving, by this grace that God has sent to us. We are loved and accepted just as we are. We as humans have a rough time with this, we're always striving to keep up with the Jones', striving to earn Gods love, have more, do more, be more, be perfect, be accepted…We think that if we can't do something perfectly that it's "not good enough" to share with others. I stand guilty on ALL counts.
When I began teaching about creative worship years ago in my home church, and later in Hawaii to students from other parts of the world, I saw that these feelings of inadequacy reign universal throughout the human race, and I became an advocate for "YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH, YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH". I felt it was Gods word to me to share with the students that were placed in my care.
In my life since those years, I have slowly but surely, drifted back, back into the dark hole of "Not good enough". It happens. I think that's part of what this name "TOWANDATUDE" meant to me. An attitude, that we are enough, strong, beautiful, glorious human beings, LOVED by God, created in HIS image.
I read something yesterday that struck me about "Not being good enough" It's called "MAN IN THE ARENA" by Theodore Roosevelt.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
I have struggled with this website and blog. I've had a hard time with self criticism, not having a writing degree, with beating my head against the wall because of my lack of technology skills. I'm no scholar and I know that my grammar and punctuation are not always correct. It's been difficult at times to pour out my deepest thoughts, memories, prayers and know that it's not perfect. But it brings me great joy to encourage others to try. I love to share my stories, my epiphanies, our projects around here and my photo's with you, hoping to be a bright spot in your day and an encouragement. Yesterday when I heard this talk about the quote from Theodore Roosevelt, I got to thinking at least I'm trying. I want you to think about that too.
What are you withholding because you might fail? What are you holding back because you might not do it perfectly?
DOING IT RIGHT means DOING IT with all you've got! But just DO IT. Share your gifts of love. Share your expression of love. It's easy to sit on the sidelines and criticize, critique others, to be "those cold timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat" but what are you doing? It takes a whole lot of courage for each of us to step out and share ourselves with the world. BE SOMEONES CHAMPION, BE AN ENCOURAGER.
Be the "Man in the Arena" in your own life. Share your gifts, lavish them on your loved ones. You are beautiful, and "accepted in the beloved". You are GOOD ENOUGH right now, just as you are.
P.S.I'm in the stands, rooting for you, in the arena as you "DARE GREATLY"
*EPHESIANS 1:6 King James version/ To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

"This place is amazing!!! Whatever your fitness needs are, they can meet them. Ultimate Fusion 50 classes are always challenging, forcing you to step outside of your comfort zone and take it to the next level. Bootcamps are energetic and fast paced-you work with weights that you're comfortable handling and can progress at whatever speed you'd like. Shawn, the instructor is always willing to help out with form and pushes you without being pushy. Gina, who leads many of the Ultimate Fusion and Freestyle Series classes provides an upbeat and intense workout. She's a ton of fun to be around, and makes you forget that you're there busting you a**. I've gotten to take a yoga class with Rebecca as well and even though I've taken yoga before, I learned a lot from her and even accomplished a few new things-all in one class! I can't say enough good things about this place-if you haven't tried it out yet-what are you waiting for??? " Leslie T. 2015 (Google Review)
"Great Place. The classes are intimate, the workouts and routines are different every session, and Shaun does a VERY good job of planning out a session (sometimes on the fly). I've had sessions where boxing is mixed with kettle bells, and resistance bands; others where we've done weight training, mixed with cardio/ plyo, mixed with corssfit type movements. Most of the movements are relatively simple, but the co-mingling of them makes the actual workout itself complex. I've been going weekly for 5-6 months and I can't say that we've ever done the same thing.
The other plus is that every workout is scaleable so any fitness level is welcomed. Come check it out" Dan O. 2015 (Google Review)
"Free Style offers a ton of great classes and I love them all!! I'd highly recommend to anyone who wants a creative workout. The classes are always different which is great!!" Lindsey O. 2015 (FB Review)

"Beautiful facility. Fun challenging class! Ultimate fusion 50 is the real deal!" Michelle P. 2015 (FB Review)
"This studio is amazing! The instructors are professional, fun and give you an incredible workout. I love what you feel when you walk in the door! It's a place where you can be yourself, challenge your body and relax the mind. A one of a kind place that truly surpasses any experience I've had in a corporate run gym. A perfect balance for anyone! I highly recommend!" Karen G.M. October 2014 (FB Review)
"Ultimate fusion is amazing !!!!! Great full body work out and superior instruction!!!! Loved it !!! Cannot wait to do it again!!!!!" Lisa J. Sept. 2014 (FB Review)
" Shawn and Gina - you are awesome! Thanks for making me work for it!" Paula K. Nov. 2014 (FB Review)
"Freestyle fitness & yoga is the best workout in Albany! I LOVE this place! I have been coming faithfully for over a year and I am always challenged and motivated. They have the most innovative classes. Try "off the wall " and "ultimate fusion". You will never go back to your old routine." Julie S. Feb. 2016 (Yelp Review)
"Love the space, the trainers, and the classes! It's never difficult to motivate when you get to work out with friends." Lisa N. 2016 (Google Review)

I am a Brisbane based award winning photographer with a passion for landscapes and seascapes in low light situations but do not stop exploring other areas of photography as well. I do prefer the ear y morning hours for most of my work. We live in a wonderful world, there is so much to discover and to share.
Since my "third eye" is always with me I observe my surroundings all the time. Even going back to the same places doesn't stop me…I find it always different again and inspiring.
A number of trips to remote Outback locations and National Parks sparked an interest in the great outdoors. "The beauty of creation invokes such a curiosity in me that I can't help but explore new and exciting places to capture those moments of unimaginable perfection.
If you wanna know more ask my pictures… probably they know me better than myself.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
Pregnancy is hard. Yes, it is beautiful, amazing and awe-filled, but it is also h-a-r-d. Morning sickness, varicose veins, sleepless nights, heartburn-need I go on? It is a 40-week journey filled with highs, lows, and lots of unknowns- just like life. You look forward to holding your newborn, but at times that doesn't take away the struggle and pain of today.
Lately I have been wrestling with being overcome by the daily stresses of life and wanting to know exactly what we can expect in our family's future, (where we will live, where the children will go to school, etc).
All of these burdens, (along with accumulated weeks of little sleep), led me to crying during a Kindergarten Info Night at my daughter's preschool. Yeah- that was me-the basket case mom shedding tears over Kindergarten.
There I was, talking to a teacher about my daughter and our school options and- you know how you can feel it coming and can't stop it? The waterworks flowed, I apologized, a rep from one of L.A.'s top private schools came to meet me, looked mortified at my blubbering and likely posted my picture on the "do not admit" wall in the admissions office. End scene.
I believe in what God has promised- that if we walk with Him in His ways, He will take care of us and give us an abundant life. I know that everything will more than just "work out" but I need strength for the journey. Do you ever feel that way?
Pastor Care Crawford spoke to my mommy group this week and put it perfectly by saying that ,
"Happiness is due to circumstances. Joy comes from rooting ourselves in Christ's love."
Circumstances change. You won't be pregnant forever, but you will have new challenges as a mom, (like finding a Kindergarten- sheesh…), and many more difficult than that by far.
Our joy must be firm- as solid as our faith in Jesus Christ. Out of that flows the fruit of the Spirit- love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, faithfulness, kindness, gentleness, and self-control. That's what I want more than a temporary solution to today's worries. God's solution is everlasting.
As you face your challenges in pregnancy and beyond, dig deeper past happiness to JOY by seeking the One who knows that it is all going to work out according to the plans HE has for your life.
And if you have an embarrassing sob-session along the way, know that you're not alone.
Be joyful even when the circumstances don't make you happy!

Christine and Justin got married three years after they met and fell in love. Soon after, they began trying to have a baby, but they unfortunately had difficulties.
After two years of trying to conceive with no luck, they contacted their doctor and discovered that Christine had polycystic ovaries, which can cause infertility. Although there was little to no chance Christine could have a natural pregnancy, they kept on trying.
After 9 years of trying on their own, they decided to try IVF. After one embryo was planted, they received incredible news!
That one little embryo split into three and one of those embryos split into two. This meant that Christine was not only pregnant with one baby, but with FOUR babies – quadruplets! The odds of this happening is once in 4,000 years. That's just crazy!
These miracle babies were born 30 weeks after the couple received the news and they're now celebrating their first birthday! Meet the little cuties Caroline, Darcy, Alexis and Elisha in the video below!
Watch to see the quadruplets who made medical history and SHARE this story with your friends and family on Facebook!

The long, cold, dark, snowy, gray, and blustery month of January in Western New York – it is tough for me not to have even just a little bit of the wintertime blues during this time of the year. I just can't seem to get warm, and I shiver at the thought of having to head outside, even to grab the mail from the mailbox.
Because of these conditions, I am especially thankful, then, for the mysterious warming of my heart as I read God's Word. His words keep me from depression, from anxiousness, and from self-pity. Each time I sit to read, He fills me once again with the daily bread I need.
As I finish the Christmas carol devotional book I have been using (okay, okay, so it has been a month since Christmas, but the words of the carols have been wonderful to continue reading even after the "season" of celebration), some of the words within this poem/hymn struck me profoundly as I read them this morning:
How lovely shines the Morning Star!
Thou mine, I Thine
Keep me kindly in Thy favor, O my Savior!
Thou wilt cheer me; Thy Word calls me to draw near Thee.
(How Lovely Shines the Morning Star!, Philipp Nicolai, 1597)
There is always hope and joy that is found when we rest in Jesus! Thank you, Lord, for carrying me through the dark, dreary days.
Life itself was in him, and this life gives light to everyone. The light shines through the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. –John 1:4,5 (TLB)

"A range of test shots are shown over the next two pages. Here, the full size image has been reduced for bandwidth purposes, and a crop (taken from the original full resolution image at Adobe ImageReady jpg quality 60) follows each image in order for you to gain an appreciation of the overall quality. The next page consists of resized images (to Adobe ImageReady jpg quality 50) so that you can evaluate the overall exposure. For those with a dial-up connection, please be patient while the page downloads."
"'With a zoom range equivalent to 28-85mm, the GX8 has a wider wide-angle setting than most other cameras, great for capturing more of the scene. At ISO 400 noise has crept in."'
"'A 3x zoom lens doesn't let you zoom in far, but the 85mm equivalent telephoto end would be ideal for flattering portraits. Again the shot was taken at approx ISO 400 and noise is evident. For a cleaner image, use the GX8 at ISO64 and ISO100, ambient light permitting."'
"'At the lowest sensitivity setting of 64 ISO there is no noticeable image noise and everything is fine. Likewise at 100 ISO the image is noise free, colours and exposure are accurate and the shot is quite usable. At the mid-range setting of 200 ISO an amount of image noise is beginning to creep into the shadow areas, but the image is still good. At the highest normal setting of 400 ISO image noise is clearly visible in the darker areas, but exposure is still accurate. At 800 ISO image noise is present right across the frame, and colour and exposure are clearly inaccurate. At the maximum setting of 1600 ISO the image is so noisy and the exposure and colour reproduction are so inaccurate as to make the image barely usable."'

Happy Birthday to my son, Alex! My big guy (literally- he's 6'3"!) turned 22 years old yesterday…although my physical being is in Guatemala, I was with him in spirit.
So much to be thankful for this year….the opportunity to serve as a Peace Corps volunteer in this beautiful country of Guatemala which struggles valiantly to meet its citizens' needs. Gracias for the rose-colored sunrise that greeted me on Thanksgiving Day as I headed to the mountain town of Nebaj. The fog hung about the waist of the distant mountains, their peaks piercing the mist…so similar to the scene in Puget Sound. Danke for the woven wool scarf wrapped about my neck as I gazed out on the frost-covered fields, bouncing along the highway in one of the many former American school buses that serve as the main transit for this country.
Merci beaucoup for the voicemail from my daughter, Michelle, and the cell phone technology that enabled me to speak with both my children this very first Thanksgiving away from them. I am indeed blessed to have raised my dear children and held them close throughout their childhood…only a few days ago my heartstrings were tugged deeply by the young woman at my muni office who beseechingly asked me to take her with me when I return to the U.S. For the past 10yrs she has not seen her own mother who fled to the U.S. to make a living, but paid a heavy price by leaving her daughter behind.
Maltiox (K'iche' for thank you) to Peace Corps for granting vacation time so that I could meet up with fellow volunteers in the quaint town of Nebaj, where colorful red skirts graced their women. Staying at Popi's hostal, run by Don, an American who has adopted Guatemala as his home, we were treated to a five-star Thanksgiving meal! Both Americans and Guatemalans broke bread together, sharing the warmth of this special day together.
A special thanks to my family and friends who bestow their compassion upon me…we are bound together in spirit to make this world a better place…adding friends as we go!

Join us Saturday, August 15th from 6-9pm for the opening reception of RENDEZVOUS.
Keystone Gallery presents RENDEZVOUS, a show of works from six female artists working across the country. A broad conversation about how we relate to one another, the objects around us, and how visceral some of those interactions can be is investigated through the mediums of painting, sculpture, installation, and photography. The diversity of these works creates a striking survey of how visual artists create new perspectives through exploration of the familiar.
The artist's include Stephanie Brunia, Lauren Carter, Rachel Cox, Jamie Kovach, Ana Medina, and Tamara Wilson.

At long last, the Information Commissioner has issued a decision notice on my request for an up to date list of officers with 'A' delegated powers.
In the short term it looks like a bit of a pyrrhic victory because I still have no better idea as to which officers have been granted delegated decision making powers. But perhaps more importantly, it's clear that NCC hasn't got the first clue either.
Obviously the ICO confirmed that NCC was late with the response that it did give me but that's pretty routine. Other procedural matters include the failure to issue a refusal notice when it claimed that the information I wanted was intended for future publication but, confusingly, also issued a fees notice should I want the information now.
The most important part of the decision concerns this claim that future publication was intended. The ICO finds that there was no evidence that NCC had a settled intention to compile an up to date list and that, even if it had, there was no evidence that they intended to publish it. In other words, a cynic might suggest that this particular response was a bit of a panicky one.
Another possibility, and the one that I hope is true, is that my request highlighted a very real problem in that NCC has not kept track of the hundreds of officer powers delegated by various committees and therefore, really doesn't know what decisions officers are making in its name. And now they've decided to do something about it, which is a good thing.

Having been challenged about this yet again recently and still not having much more to offer than the stunning revelation than that the English language is full of exceptions to rules — because, really, it's not a surprise or a big deal to me that different people in or from different parts of the world pronounce things differently — I decided to do some research.
The tired old comparison is to the word "school". "Why don't you pronounce it 'shool'?" goes the typical witty refrain. Really? That's your best argument for …

Maybe nobody at the CBC knows any better, or maybe they're too afraid to correct you. However, I do and I'm not.
The Queen does not PRO-sess canned fish at a packing plant. She does, however, pro-SESS down The Mall in a pro-SESS-shun.
Look it up. You're welcome.
There was another odd pronunciation (in addition to at least two instances of the above for which I was within earshot of the TV), but I forget what it was. Additionally, I heard someone else remark on your rather odd pronunciation of "Edinburgh" (and by …

Break tradition this leap year!
Monday, 22 February 2016 11:12:00 Europe/London
The 29th February is but a week away, so for those ladies who want to abide by tradition and get down on one knee, planning needs to be underway!
Legend has it that an Irish nun, St Bridget, complained to St Patrick that women had to wait too long for their men to propose, so he over ruled and gave women the opportunity to ask their men the all-important question every four years. Other legends say this tradition goes back to when the leap year day was not recognised under English law, so women could break the convention of a man proposing.
So if you want to break tradition and make the ultimate declaration of love to your partner then Monday 29th February is the perfect day to get down on one knee!

CATOMIC is not just another match-3 mobile game, IT HAS CATS IN SPACE!
Catomic is not just any old match-3 game, but a match-3 games featuring CATS!
Game studio On5 is preparing a their new title "Catomic" for launch on March 15. In this free to play game the player needs to join objects by three or more in order to get more advanced objects. As the player progresses, the cats' space program develops.
The space exploration starts with zeppelins, then flight on machines heavier than air (by Whisker brothers), and commercial airlines. Earth's artificial satellite "Mittens I" will be launched, the cats will land on the Moon, and an orbital station will be established by Cat Space Agency. A private company CatX will develop Ocelot reusable booster rockets, and a huge spacecraft called Puss will be constructed.
As the player joins and upgrades the objects, the ground infrastructure grows too. The cats graduate from schools and universities, found Capple, Catsla, Cat Space Agency, and train astronauts. Pesky mice and raccoons try to impede the progress, but they can't stop the goal oriented felines.
The game will be available for iOS and Android on March 15th.
This one goes out to all my fellow Space Cats.

If you research the internet regarding the use of natural rat repellent liquid urine spray for cars you will find many references. A large number of people claim that the use of cat or wolf urine is effective at keeping rodents away. Simply mix it up in a spray bottle and douse your chosen vehicle in urine and the job is done.
It is logical that the smell of cats or wolves may alert rats to danger in the area. This technique may work for a time but you have to put up with the stench of pee from under the bonnet. Rats aren't stupid. They may keep away for a while. They often will if there is a change in the environment but they will soon return when they realise that there is no threat.
You will be taking a risk if you use this technique to protect your car or van. Our research shows that 9% of car owners have had their car damaged by rats at some point. The average cost of damage is in the region of £400. Our research showed that the upper end of damage comes to £7000 although it could be much more for an expensive car. You will be risking a large amount of money, not to mention the time your car will be out of action.
If you want to minimise the risk of rat damage to your car then our rat repellent flooring is the best solution. Carefully designed to be as effective as possible at keeping rats at bay the flooring creates a defensive perimeter. The hardware is unique and cannot be found anywhere else.

I meant to write, I really did. But between long days of travel, a new client's rush job, and enjoying bits of London on the side, my poor blog was left behind. With only three full days in town I didn't get up to too much but the little that Joe and I did do together was simply perfect. We were ecstatic to be home again. From feeling the naturally cold air on our faces after stepping off the plane (no AC!) to taking out our Oyster Cards and riding the tube - we relished every moment that indicated we were back in London. I didn't even take my camera out once because I was so happy being back and feeling as if we had never left. Strangely I felt more excited to be "home" in London than I did when I was back in Los Angeles (yes, former Ms. LA can't believe she said that, too). LA, I realized, is the type of home where my family and friends are and where the things I grew up with will always be. But London...sigh...I can't even put into words what it does for me. It's just a bad-ass city. Period.
I was due back in KL today but yesterday's flight via Abu Dhabi was delayed by five hours and would have left me with an eighteen hour layover (yuck!). Joe had a later flight straight to Abu Dhabi to stay for business so by the time he arrived at the airport I was able to change my ticket to join him. Might as well stay with him one extra day in a hotel rather than see what the airline would have figured out for me! So, now I'm in the UAE until Friday morning. I went from the jungle, to a cold island, to the desert - all in a matter of days. I totally tripped out when I looked outside of the airplane's window and saw nothing but sand. And then I freaked out when I realized that I had nothing but sweaters in my luggage! I guess that means that I'll have to go shopping...I wouldn't want to die of a heat stroke or anything. But first, lots and lots of coffee. I feel like I could sleep for days but I'll power through...gotta make the most of this unexpected trip!

This week is Banned Books Week and if there's one thing I love it's doing something I'm not supposed to do. Not in a "Imma steal a car and run over seventeen old ladies," kind of way but in a "Oh, I'm not supposed to cross this line because you said so *cross*" kind of way.
If there's one thing we should cross lines about it's censorship. I think everyone at #WeirdEd agrees censorship is a terrible. On the other hand, it does tell us an awful lot about what the ruling class thinks is important and what they are scared of. It's always valuable to know what the ruling class is scared of us knowing.
Books get banned for all sorts of terrible, idiotic, and ridiculous reasons. Where the Wild Things Are was banned because Sendak nailed the occasional dark loneliness of childhood so precisely. Have to keep the kids from that. They can't know the truth. The Captain Underpants books are challenged every year as well because humorless adults have no idea what kids think is funny. We are called to seek out these verboten tomes and find out just what the big deal is. Some you can almost see the fuss over, especially in today's society...I'm a liar. I can't see a reason for banning any book. Everything teaches us something. (Though if someone wants to start the rumor that He's the Weird Teacher has been banned for being too damn awesome I'd not argue with you.)
We will look at some banned and challenged books, talk about their meanings or why they were banned/challenged, and learn from them. Are there reasons we should not allow students to read certain books at school? Teachers are in a weird place. We (read: I) am both a rebel and an authority figure. Books in school are an interesting place for lines to get drawn. Can I draw those lines? Should I?
How powerful is the effort to ban a book? Does it ever work? Does censorship ever actually quiet the message it is trying to keep down? Maybe for a moment, but the light shines through. Can you think of a time when you inadvertently censored a child?
#WeirdEd gets a little less silly and a little more serious this week, but in the best spirit of #WeirdEd. I can't wait to hear what you all think.

Participatory Research in a School Setting: A Process of Acculturation
Participatory Research in a School Setting: A Process of Acculturation - Download this document for free, or read online. Document in PDF available to download.
Online Submission, US-China Education Review B 6 p868-877 2011
This article describes a collaborative research study of university researchers and Grades one and two teachers from an Ontario, Canada French-language School Board. The School Board offered phonological awareness and reading-teaching training to grades one and two teachers with a long-term goal of improving the reading outcomes of the students in these classes. Researchers from University of Ottawa were asked to lead a collaborative research project on the impact of this training on the teacher's pedagogical approaches to teaching reading and ultimately the impact it had on their students. The objective of this article is to report the results of this collaborative research and more specifically to show the originality of SAS[superscript 2] (social analysis systems) methodological tools, which mobilized a collective analysis and interpretation of perceptions on the training's impact. We also discuss the difficulties of doing collaborative research in a school setting, where traditional research is better known and expected. (Contains 1 table, 3 figures, and 4 footnotes.)
