Privacy fence companies in Ferry Village do more than keeping prying eyes from your backyard, though this is the reason most people install them. If you are considering installing one, consider these benefits.
1. Noise reduction. Privacy fences create a solid, or nearly solid, the wall around your yard which will help deflect sound. If you live on a busy or noisy street, a privacy fence will provide some measure of quieting the din. If you already live in a relatively quiet area, you may find that solid fences will knock down the volume to almost nothing. You can't cut out all noise, but choose a fence that has few gaps, such as a stockade style, and go for the tallest you can to get the most effective noise reduction.
2. Security. Any fence will provide a measure of security, but consider how thieves operate. They first scope out a location, looking for easy access and targeting a home that likely contains high-value items. If your property is surrounded by a privacy fence, they won't have much luck in determining if your property contains anything worth stealing. And if they still decide to breach your property, a privacy fence is more difficult to climb over than a chain link fence.

A group of Irish travelers set out to see how far they could get without spending a cent — and you'd be amazed at how far they made it.
In an event known as the Trinity College Jailbreak, nearly 70 students from the Dublin University were given a day and a half to get as far away from the Irish capital as they could without spending any money.
"We never imagined they would make it out of Europe," said one of the organizers of the charity event.

Let me just come out and say it. I am a nerd. And the nerdy topic that I get most excited about is business model innovation. As I write this, I can feel my team rolling their eyes; I talk about business models all the time. I think a quality product is important and customer engagement even more so, but an innovative business model is the foundation for ground breaking innovation.
Let's look at the Ford Motor Company. When Henry Ford incorporated his company, he was one of hundreds of American car manufacturers. Ford cars were good, but there is no evidence that they were the best. Just like many of his competitors, a Ford got you from Point A to Point B. The real reason that Ford is one of the three American car makers left standing is their business model innovation.
Start with wages. Fords were cars for the masses and therefore reducing the cost of the car was important. Logically, you would source the cheapest labor possible and have them work as hard and fast as they could for as little money as they would accept. Ford turned this logic on its head paying his factory workers $5 an hour (to put this in context, his cars cost $290 in 1924) so that each one of his workers could afford one of his cars. He made his own market right in his own factory.
Pricing and distribution were another crucial Ford innovation. Ford brought leasing to the automobile industry making his cars even more accessible and adding a second, diversified revenue stream to his company. He also invented the dealership model. Carrying inventory is expensive. Ford pushed that burden onto an independent dealer network creating a favorable cash flow positioning and balance sheet for his own company.
And I haven't even talked about the assembly line.
When working on your business, do not just think about what you want to sell, but how you can design a system of turning raw materials into revenue in a way that fits with your product strategy. Maybe you too will become obsessed with business model innovation.
Meghan McCormick is the CEO and co-founder of Dare to Innovate. She is a systems thinking passionate about using innovation to deliver value to communities, companies, and consumers. She'd love to help you make your business model more innovative. You can reach her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A roll of toilet paper, apple juice, a writing brush, a flame.
In the way secret letters are written to childhood best friends, I use apple juice to write the name of an ex-lover/friend/colleague on a piece of toilet paper. As I hold the flimsy sheet up to the heat of a flame, the juice darkens and the writing grows visible for some moments before being consumed by the fire.
These names are of people who at one time had been an intimate part of my life, and/or people with whom I interacted on a regular basis for at least one year, and who are no longer a part of my life today as a consequence of natural circumstances or conscious decisions.
Friends and colleagues with whom I have lost touch over time and not had any contact for at least one year fall under the "natural circumstances" category, while relationships brought to an abrupt end by choice fall under the "conscious decisions" category, and qualify immediately as "ex-".
Beginning with the most recent "ex-", individuals from my past were brought back to mind via natural association. The recollection of one person always led to that of another, usually because they had a relationship of their own between them, and occasionally because they are connected in my mind for a particular reason. As a result, almost every "ex-" would recognize at least a few names preceding and succeeding their own.
As it happened, the last person I thought about as I came to the end of the roll of toilet paper reminded me of the first person, bringing me back full circle to the present. A hundred and eight individuals scattered across five continents are linked to each other, one to the next, by one or (at most) two degrees of separation.
This work, commissioned by Heman Chong as a component of the Singapore Art Show, was screened continuously in an unoccupied-shop-turned-temporary-cinema in the belly of the spanking new mega shopping complex, Vivocity, in Singapore this August. As many of my "ex-es" were childhood friends from this small city, it is likely that an innocent shopper will surprised by their own name (or the name of someone they know) going up in flames.

A Journey through History on a Magic Horse
Author Interview: PJ Flynn
Working as a plasterer for most of his adult life, author PJ Flynn turned to writing in 2002 after hip replacement surgery, and hasn't looked back since.
His children's book series, The Magic Horse Mysteries, takes the reader on fantastical adventures through history. The books are now sold worldwide and he has a growing army of young admirers.
I caught up with Pete recently via Skype.
Where do your ideas come from, do you think?
Most of the stories have been about my life, and often what I have wished for, I love animals and they have been a massive part of my life. On going back to work I was plastering in a school in Rushden and got talking with a teacher about the story I was attempting. She smiled and said best of luck, not really believing a builder was capable of writing a book. I went back a year later book in hand and showed her my effort. We have been friends ever since.
Why children's books?
I can relate to children and I think can pick up their like and dislikes. I go into schools and all my hard work is all paid back by the looks on their faces. I am so happy if I can make one child happy, you can guess how I feel when the whole class asks for my autograph, that day we all go home happy. That's what writing children's book is all about.
As well as the Magic Horse stories, Pete has written a children's book called Tales of a Wild Cat, which has been beautifully illustrated by local artist, Peter Panayis.
Can you tell us a little about your cat book and your collaboration with the illustrator?
Cats have been my wife's passion all her life, of course, this has rubbed off on me. My favourite cat was a blue Burmese called Jasper and from day one he was a nuisance but the most loveable cat you could imagine. So I set about writing a story I thought would be me in his shoes. In the sad parts there would be tears in my eyes while writing, I still miss him so much but I only have to look at the book and say hello to him.
I met my illustrator, Peter Panayis in 2009 while he was selling his work in a show and asked him if he would like to illustrate a book, and he was only too pleased to do so. We have been mates ever since and his undoubted talent has helped me immensely.
What do you enjoy most about writing?
Shut in my room away from everybody living my extraordinary world of fantasy, and writing my thoughts of what I would like the world to be like, and of course the happiness it brings the children.
What, if anything, do you find most frustrating?
Selling the books to a generation who have forgotten how to read books. When we were kids it's all we had.
You've recently written a story for adults – how did that come about?
As most of my books are to do with fantasy, this book, Lady Catherine, was an idea I had in 2007, when in a piece of homework from a college I had joined, the piece was called The Visitor, so being different instead of me visiting somewhere, I had a ghost visiting me. Seven years later I adapted the homework, just messing about as us authors do, and it turned into Lady Catherine
What are your hopes for your books in the future?
To get better known as I love writing my stories but times are changing, my last book has gone on Kindle and Smash words and with a touch of a button my efforts have gone, whereas in years gone by they would be in a book forever, which was one of the reasons I stated writing: to leave something behind.
Thank you for talking to me, Pete. Long may you continue to weave your magical tales for all ages!
You can buy Pete's books on Amazon, Smashwords and on his own website: www.animal-magic-tales.com

CHICAGO: Is this Carlos Santana�s final season as the Indians� No. 1 catcher?
It would be difficult to point to any area where he has gotten more proficient behind the plate. Santana continues to struggle to block balls in the dirt; despite a strong arm, he is average at best in throwing out runners, and he is constantly getting pinged by foul balls and errant pitches that hit the ground.
At the plate, Santana has become more of the impact player that club officials were hoping to see last year, and since he can play first base and fill in as the designated hitter, there is a place in the lineup for him even if he doesn�t catch.
Yan Gomes has proved to be a capable catcher and has a chance to be a solid run producer. The logical move is to make Gomes the everyday catcher and keep Lou Marson as the backup.
These changes can�t be made now, because it would create too much dislocation at other positions. Moreover, Marson isn�t healthy.
�?Whatever happened to Marson?
He has been on the disabled list with a sore shoulder since April 28. Nobody talks about him; he has become the resident ghost of the Tribe clubhouse.
When a reporter asked what Marson was doing, the answer was: �Throwing program.�
�?Scott Kazmir can become a free agent at the end of the season. If it�s within his power, General Manager Chris Antonetti shouldn�t allow that to happen.
Nobody knows if Kazmir will regain the form he displayed in 2007 and 2008, when he was The Next Big Thing, but he certainly looks like he�s well on his way.
After struggling to keep his job in the big leagues and spending last year pitching for an independent league team, what Kazmir needed was to relearn how to pitch. He appears to be doing that.
For the rest of the season, he probably will continue on a path that includes lots of peaks and valleys, but next year could begin a period of consistent success.
So sign Kazmir to a multiyear deal now, if he is willing to talk. And he might be. After all, it was Antonetti who gave him a chance when he wasn�t even an afterthought for most clubs.
�?What is making the Indians� offense a fearsome weapon these days? Nothing much.
The Tribe is languishing in the middle of the American League pack in most categories: seventh in runs, eighth in batting average, seventh in OPS, sixth in home runs. The Wahoos are a little better in stolen bases (third), walks (fourth) and doubles (fourth) but not so good in (surprise) strikeouts (fourth).
Individually, Mark Reynolds, Nick Swisher and Carlos Santana were expected to provide the most firepower. Instead, it has been Jason Kipnis. Where would the Indians be without him?
Kipnis is among the top 20 American League batsmen in these categories: RBI, doubles, steals, on-base percentage, slugging percentage and OPS, with an .882 figure, good for 10th place. He also has bounced into only two double plays.
�?Drew Stubbs has bounced into just one double play.
And the fact he was able to avoid being doubled up on his ground ball to third in the ninth inning Wednesday night enabled the Tribe to beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-3.
With the score tied, runners on first and third and one out, Stubbs slapped a bouncer to Manny Machado, who threw to second for the force-out, but the relay to first failed to beat the flying feet of Stubbs, and Mike Aviles scored the game winner.
�?As Indians manager Terry Francona likes to point out, �These things have a way of working themselves out.�
What things? Like who will be nudged out of the rotation when Zach McAllister comes off the disabled list, probably shortly after the All-Star Game?
It would be a painful decision if McAllister were ready to be activated now. Let�s see, which starting pitcher isn�t holding up his end of the bargain? Justin Masterson, Ubaldo Jimenez, Scott Kazmir, Corey Kluber, Carlos Carrasco?
Don�t say Carrasco, because we don�t know yet, and he needs to make at least eight to 10 starts before a judgment can be made.
By the time the All-Star break arrives, Carrasco will have made three more starts and eight for the season. If he stumbles, the decision will be easy. If he pitches well between now and mid-July, then what?
What about a six-man rotation? No chance.
�?Speaking of displaced starters, what is Brett Myers going to do in the bullpen?
I know he�s worked as a reliever before, but there certainly is no crying need for another right-hander in the Tribe pen. On the other hand, how else can he fulfill his $7 million contract?
�?It�s too early to know whether Antonetti will target a pitcher or a hitter in a trading deadline deal, or even if he will attempt to acquire a player at all.
Regardless of what kind of player he seeks, there will be limitations, and I�m not talking about money. The Tribe�s minor-league system isn�t exactly overflowing with top-of-the-line prospects that other clubs covet, though things are looking up.
It would be a shock if the GM traded Francisco Lindor, considered the top position player in the farm system. Moreover, most of the club�s best prospects are laboring in Class A or in rookie leagues.
Trading partners usually don�t want to wait four or five years to see the fruit of their deal-making, and that�s how long it would take for a kid at say, Mahoning Valley, to reach the majors.
Trevor Bauer, pitching prospect No. 1, is learning his craft at Triple-A Columbus, the top end of the farm system. It�s unlikely that Antonetti would part with him. Would a team be interested in Daisuke Matsuzaka? What about a big-league starter? The Tribe has seven, if you count Bauer.
Improbable as it seems, there�s a chance the Indians would trade a pitcher to get better. That would be a switch.

Teatro Colón's Chamber Opera is regarded as an itinerant project capable of reaching several stages of Buenos Aires City, Argentina and out of the country, promoting young artists, selected according to the stylistic exigencies of the difficult genre that cultivates.
Team work, discipline, and a coordinated effort in which the group's values are above the individual success of its members (qualities that are fundamental in the chamber genre) are the basis on top of which the project consolidates.

The Most Unkindest Cut of All
C P Krishnan
CAN any Indian citizen imagine in his wildest dream that the central government will contemplate to liquidate the State Bank of India, the largest public sector bank in our country, doing yeomen service to the common man, serving more than 25 crore account holders and commanding one third of the total banking business? Can anyone think that the government at the centre will attempt to close down Life Insurance Corporation of India, the largest public sector insurance company with no match in the private sector and which has doubled its contribution to the 12th Five Year Plan compared to that of 11th Five Year Plan from Rs 7,04,151 crores to Rs 14,23,055 crores? Yes. What no one imagined is likely to become reality, if left unchecked.
Cabinet clearS draconian bill
On June 14, 2017, "The Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved the proposal to introduce the Financial Resolution and Deposit Insurance (FRDI) Bill, 2017. The bill will pave the way for setting up of Financial Resolution Corporation to deal with the bankruptcy of the banks, insurance companies and financial entities" according to the media reports. This is the most dangerous attack on the public sector financial institutions.
Under the FRDI, a "Resolution Corporation" would be established. The general direction and management of the affairs and business of the corporation shall vest in the board, which shall consist of chairperson, one each representing finance ministry, RBI, SEBI, IRDA, PFRDA, three whole time members appointed by the central government and two independent members to be appointed by the central government.
The board will have sweeping powers to order amalgamation, merger, liquidation and acquisition of any bank, including the SBI and other nationalised banks, regional rural banks, co-operative banks and payment banks, any insurance company including the LIC and other nationalised general insurance companies if, in its opinion and judgement, the concerned institution (bank or insurance company) has got "imminent" or "critical" risk to its viability. The corporation will also be empowered to hand over any such institution to another entity, public or private. It has been authorised to order discontinuation of service of the employees or transfer of their employment or reduction of their remuneration upon such "Resolution", ie, amalgamation, merger, transfer of ownership or liquidation.
FRDI envisages closure of the "Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation" (DICGC, in short) established in 1961, which has so far been an insurance cover for the savings of the depositors.
The draconian nature of the bill will have deep negative impact on the safety and security of people's deposits and the very job security of the employees and officers.
On March 15, 2016 a committee was set up under the chairmanship of Ajay Tyagi, additional secretary, department of economic affairs, ministry of finance, to draft and submit the Bill. The committee submitted its report and based on it, the draft FRDI Bill was drawn up.
It is to be reiterated that the public sector financial institutions have been created to serve the ordinary masses besides marginalised and under-privileged sections of the people and not for earning huge profit at the cost of ordinary masses.
Out of the total Non-Performing Assets (NPAs), 88.4 per cent is the creation of the large borrowers with the loan exposure of Rs 5 crores and above. On top of it, 12 large borrowers constitute 25 per cent of the NPAs.
According to the Economic Times dated June 26, 2017, RBI told banks to set aside at least 50 per cent of the loan amount as likely losses for all cases referred to the insolvency process; the regulator also said that provisioning should be 100 per cent for those cases that don't get resolved in the initial mandatory period for loan restructuring and instead are forced into liquidation.
It is now clear how 'efficiently' the law of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016 would be utilised. If banks have to make 50 per cent or 100 per cent provision, then what is the use of this law?
The present BJP government has absolutely no political will to recover the NPAs from the corporates. Hence it attempts to show the performance of the PSBs in poor light and then liquidate them through the new bill cleared by the union cabinet on June 14.
56 RRBs spread over 600 districts with around 23,000 branches have been rendering excellent service to the rural people by lending almost 80 per cent of their total advances to the poor and marginalised. Further there is a demand from the unions/associations to strengthen RRBs by providing adequate man power and improving their infra-structure. Despite poor support from the government, only four RRBs incur loss. That may be cited as an excuse for the government to wind them up.
The co-operative institutions which have been extending real service to the common man, have been weakened to some extent as 370 central co-operative banks with around 14,000 branches and 93,000 primary agriculture co-operative societies were kept away from the note-exchange exercise during demonetisation period. The losses incurred by these institutions due to farm loan waiver announced by the successive governments were not fully reimbursed by them. This has further weakened their financial stability. These institutions which were exempted from payment of income tax are forced to pay the same through a change of law made about a decade ago. Due to these faulty policies, some of the co-operative institutions suffer losses for some period. The same may be attributed as their inefficiency and quoted as the reason for liquidating them.
Despite stiff competition posed by the private insurers, the public sector LIC stands number one in terms of market share and service in the life insurance sector with no competitor anywhere near the LIC. The four public sector non-life insurance companies continue their dominant position with regard to market share and service to the common man in spite of unethical competition by the private insurance companies imposed due to the defective policy of the government. There cannot be any reason for their closure even remotely.
In this backdrop, it is incomprehensible why such a bill is attempted to be brought. The move of the government lacks any logic or reason. This is yet another deliberate attempt to serve the corporates by encouraging more and more private banks in the name of small banks or payment banks and universal banks and keeping our country's door wide open for foreign banks.
Bank strike
This move of the central government deserves strong condemnation from all quarters. It is incumbent on the part of all the central trade unions and sector wise unions and democratic forces to resist the move of the government to close down public sector financial institutions and defeat the same. All the patriotic minded members of the parliament would oppose the bill, when introduced in the parliament.
Bank employees are determined to oppose this sinister move of the government at the centre tooth and nail. Ten lakh bank employees and officers under the banner of UFBU will observe a day's strike on August 22, 2017 against the so-called banking sector reforms and particularly against this FRDI bill. There will also be a massive dharna with the participation of more than a lakh of bank employees and officers before parliament in Delhi on September 15, 2017 followed by two days' country-wide strike in October/November 2017, if the government remains obstinate.

One of the best albums we've ever heard from this legendary Brazilian singer – at least within the past decade or so – a fantastic reunion with pianist/arranger Geraldo Flach, who gives the music a jazzy flow that's totally wonderful! Both Ivan Lins and Geraldo play piano and keyboards – so most tracks have a keys-heavy sound that's great, with mostly acoustic underpinning the music – creating waves of sound, even on the mellow cuts, which seem to unlock the jazziest side of the singer's vocals! The whole thing almost feels more like some lost live date from the 70s than a 21st Century performance – and is a reminder of that special sophistication that some of the true geniuses in Brazilian music can give us. Titles include 'Novo Tempo", "Ultimo Desejo", "O Mapa Da Cidade", "As Pastorinhas", "O Voo Da Aguia", "Estrela Guia", and "Lembra De Mim". ~ Dusty Groove
Actor and vocalist Karl Bynes waxes his debut single with an inviting gospel, R&B, and jazz flair on the holiday classic, "Christmas Time is Here." For those YouTube devotees, Karl Bynes is a regular contributor with several videos filmed at intimate New York establishments and an audition for Adult Simba in The Lion King. Theater goers may have also noticed his acting chops with the sketch comedy, Satire Off Broadway, depicting life in the Big Apple. Yet his true heart leans towards his flexible tenor voice, who currently makes his theatrical acting debut as a lead choir vocalist in the holiday comedy, Almost Christmas. Besides his debut movie appearance, the Florida native also marked his recording debut, accompanied by his regular pianist, Densen Curwin, to share a deeply personal holiday favorites, "Christmas Time is Here," one of the musical highlights from the 1965 holiday chestnut, A Charlie Brown Christmas. As a veteran vocalist, Bynes enjoys injecting jazz phrasing, one case in point being "Grateful" by Hezekiah Walker & L.F.C., anchored by influences such as Frank McComb (who accompanied him at the piano for "Knocks Me Off My Feet"), gospel legend Daryl Coley and contemporary jazz icon, Anita Baker. The same applies with "Christmas Time is Here," with an interpretation spotlighting all of Bynes' extensive range and vocal colors. ~ Peggy Oliver/The Urban Music Scene
Sharon Lewis has plenty of Texas fire here – but she's also got a good Chicago mix of blues and soul – almost a west side vibe, but with a contemporary approach – and a level of grit that makes her one of the strongest blues talent in the current Delmark Records roster! Lewis can really put a lot of growl into her vocals, but also never gets too fixated on that mode either – and instead can come across with almost a deep soul vibe on some numbers, especially when the band isn't bluesing it up too much. The core combo features Roosevelt Purifoy on piano and organ, and Steve Bramer on guitar – and guests include Sugar Blue on harmonica and Hank Ford on tenor sax – on titles that include "Chicago Woman", "Can't Do It Like We Do", "Hell Yeah", "Old Man's Baby", "High Road", "Soul Shine", and "Freedom".

Governments are supposed to be representatives of the people, delegates of their citizens, trustees of the public good. Yet too often we see that officials, once elected or anointed, hold information close the vest and are loathe to share with the public. Information is power, and in repressive regimes, the flow of information inherently challenges the status quo. Yet in the era of digital networks and citizen media there has been a concurrent backlash by governments across the world as they seek to restrict access to information and the public's right to know.
On International Right to Know Day, this battle between secrecy and openness is being fought throughout the world, from the staunchest democracies to the most repressive regimes. In 2002, September 28 was established by access to information advocates around the world as the Right to Know Day, a day meant to raise awareness about the fundamental right to information. This right enables full citizen empowerment and participation in government and ensures against abuses of power by encouraging transparency and accountability. Freedom of information is the cornerstone not only of democracy but of all other freedoms, as the United Nations General Assembly recognized in 1946.
Momentous technological changes in information and communication technology have coincided with a time of great political upheaval as local pressures for political reform converge with international demands economic and political change. The Arab Spring provides new opportunities for Egypt, Libya and Tunisia to enshrine the Right to Know in their constitutions and legal reforms, and to set an example for a region that consistently ranks the worst on Freedom House's annual Freedom of the Press survey.
Africa is headed in the right direction on this issue with the adoption earlier this month of the African Platform on Access to Information. Frank La Rue, UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Opinion and Expression, Faith Pansy Tlakula, Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression and Access to Information in Africa, and Norris Tweah, Liberian Deputy Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism were among those who signed the Platform. The challenge to implementation at the national level remains, however.
Jurgen Habermas, whose theory of the public sphere has become a central metaphor for democratic life, placed the responsibility for the sovereignty of the people "into the flow of communication... in the power of public discourses that uncover topics of relevance to all of society, interpret values, contribute to the resolution of problems, generate good reasons, and debunk bad ones." Without information communication and discourse suffer, with real implications for people's rights, health and livelihoods.
In China, for example, the International Federation of Journalists uncovered scores of restrictive orders issued by authorities in 2010 that blocked information on public health, disasters, corruption and civil unrest. In Russia, regional governments provided only 38% of the information on activities that must be published according to the Russian Freedom of Information law. And in the United States, the Obama administration has classified more documents than any other administration, 77 million in 2010 alone, prompting top officials to formally complain about needless classification of documents that contain no secrets and officials to retaliate by using the Espionage Act in at least five cases of news media disclosure.
The right to know, to have access to the information needed to live and choose, is too often sacrificed in the name of national security or to protect entrenched political interests. On this Right to Know Day, let democracies lead the way in promoting and protecting this right and be an example to transitioning countries where leaders are too often tempted to ignore this fundamental human right.

If you believe the man himself, Johnny Depp may walk from Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides , after his friend and Chairman of Disney Dick Cook was ousted at the weekend.
As he waits to base his decision on the strength of the script, currently being laboured over by a team of highly skilled hacks chained to typewriters, we thought we'd cast an eye on a Depp-less future for Pirates 4 .
There is little doubt that the film will go ahead, after all the franchise has grossed over $2 Billion at the box office. So they are left with two choices; write out the character, or recast the part.
While we wouldn't like to think about a Sparrow-light Pirates film, it's slightly more palatable to consider who might have a go at filling those magnificent boots...
Join us then, as we make the case for 7 Actors For Jack Sparrow...
Joseph Gordon Levitt
Who? Often touted as the finest young actor working today, Gordon-Levitt got his start in Third Rock From The Sun and 10 Things I Hate About You before graduating to Mysterious Skin, Brick and (500) Days of Summer more recently.
Why He'd Be Good For The Role: One of the brightest and most versatile young actors of his generation, he isn't too much of an acting snob to throw himself into a role that requires acting the fool – see GI Joe for evidence.
He also has the comedy pedigree, honed over his lengthy stint on Third Rock From The Sun, to manage a Jack Sparrow, whereas many of his serious actor counterparts might take themselves way too seriously (Ryan Gosling).
Plot Adjustments: Taking a step back in time, Pirates 4 would go the prequel route, Jack Sparrow: The Early Years. With his pirate dad constantly embarrassing him and putting him down, Jack sets out to make his name.
Joining a crew, Sparrow makes his mark with his pirate skills and remarkable ability to fight better when he's drunk, though he has a habit of getting into trouble.
The film shows Sparrow and crew stealing the Black Pearl, and introduces us to his first mate Barbossa, who leads a mutiny against Jack, deserting him on the island from where he makes his famed escape.
Next: Robert Pattinson
Robert Pattinson
Who? Current hottest actor on the planet, ask any girl under the age of 65 about R-Pattz and they'll just start blubbing and giggling simultaneously, while screaming at the top of their lungs. He's in Twilight apparently.
Why He'd Be Good For The Role: If Disney want to shift some tickets for this sham, then they could do worse than bringing Pattinson's massive following into the Disney family.
We're not convinced he'd be able to handle Jack's surly, witty persona, in fact Sparrow would likely be a much paler, more brooding affair with Rob in the role, but boy if it wouldn't put bums in seats – and that's what matters, fact fans.
Plot Adjustments: Forget Orlando Bloom, Jack Sparrow is the romantic lead in this sequel, and Disney aren't shy about hiring the hottest and most desirable young actress to surround Sparrow.
Separated from his one true love when she is taken away by her evil father, Sparrow gathers his crew and sets sail on the high seas, drinking and whoring his way around half the world.
But when word reaches Sparrow of his true love's peril, he risks life and limb in an epic quest to reunite with her. Swoon.
Next: Robert Downey Jr. [page-break]
Robert Downey Jr.
Who? From enfant terrible to bankable leading actor, Downey Jr has emerged from his drug-addled past to rule the box office and our hearts in the latter half of this decade, from Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang to Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes .
Why He'd Be Good For The Role: He's versatile, charismatic, charming, witty, amazingly talented and funny as hell – if ever there were a heir-appartent to Depp it's Downey Jr.
Cool, confident and not afraid to court controversy, Downey Jr. is exactly the kind of guy who'd accept the Sparrow challenge, just to see if it could be done – and as Tropic Thunder proved, he can transform himself to fit any role.
Plot Adjustments: You wouldn't need any. Just follow the plot of Pirates 4 as Jim Elliot and Terry Rossio have penned it, and simply substitute Bob for Johnny – he's so good people probably won't even notice!
Perhaps as an homage to Downey's battle against addiction, the film could portray Jack trying to go clean. That would be quickly done away with when it turns out Jack needs to be sizzled to be effective.
Consuming enough rum to drown most sailors, Sparrow returns in the climactic finale as pissed as a priest and twice as surly, saving the day and sailing triumphantly into the sunset. Depp who?
Next: Jim Carrey [page-break]
Jim Carrey
Who? Only one of the finest and most beloved comedy performers and actors of a generation, star of genius such as Ace Ventura, The Mask and Liar Liar , he's also nailed more dramatic roles in The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine .
Why He'd Be Good For The Role: Nobody does quirky like Carrey. His gift for physical comedy is a trait attempted by many but matched by none. The time is ripe for JC to star in a major franchise, and why not the second Pirates trilogy.
He'd take Jack Sparrow's crazy to a whole new level, with his uniquely rubber face, boundless energy and explosive delivery, he'd ad-lib his way over any doubts about his pedigree to replace the irreplaceable Depp.
Plot Adjustments: More insane than ever, Sparrow must try to convince his crew he can still lead them to the famed treasure of something or other, but a curse put on him by a witch has rendered him unable to say the letter 'R'.
Flopping his way around the Caribbean trying to command a near-mutinous crew, Sparrow finds himself in all manner of difficulty trying to direct the ship, fighting against the curse and anything he can think of to break it.
In the end, Jack gets around his ailment, finds the treasure, and realises the only way to break the curse is to give all his riches away, learning not to be so selfish. It doesn't last long.
Next: Sean Penn [page-break]
Sean Penn
Who? Two-time Oscar winner for Mystic River and Milk , Penn has a chameleonic ability to immerse himself into a role, whether it be a gay politician or a hardened gangster, he is quite simply one of the best actors of all time.
Why He'd Be Good For The Role: Although Johnny Depp brought massive credibility to Jack Sparrow, Penn would bring an extra dimension to the character, flushing out and exorcising the demons that haunt Jack Sparrow.
He can do funny, and doesn't take himself that seriously, well not all the time (have you seen Carlito's Way?), and his Oscar winning pedigree speaks for itself – Jack Sparrow in his hands would be an interesting proposition.
Plot Adjustments: Jack Sparrow has a wife and a newborn child. When a rogue band of pirates seek to make themselves top dogs by removing the competition, they slay his wife and child and leave Jack for dead.
Injured and alone, Jack must put to rest his pride and ask for help from old friends in order to track down the pirates and get his revenge. On the journey, Jack loses himself in his thirst for vengeance, and it almost destroys him.
Realising the error of his ways, Jack makes peace with his guilt for failing to protect his family and finally catching up with the culprits, he turns them over to the authorities rather than kill them, sailing off a changed man.
Next: Russell Brand [page-break]
Russell Brand
Who? British stand-up comic, actor and presenter made infamous by the Sachsgate scandal, had a hilarious turn in last year's Forgetting Sarah Marshall , and is set to star in a spin-off, Get Him To The Greek .
Why He'd Be Good For The Role: Rumoured to be playing Jack Sparrow's brother in On Stranger Tides , Brand has the certain essence required for the role; namely he's as random as flying rock and may have been hit by a few.
Wouldn't be much of a stretch in make-up and hair terms, and he can probably provide his own wardrobe. The accent too is fairly Sparrow-esque, and he'd probably do it for a tenth of Depp's rate.
Plot Adjustments: Arrested and incarcerated aboard a rehab vessel for rum abuse, Sparrow leads the scurvy riddled patients to a mutiny.
Taking control of the ship, and their hefty supply of rum, the crew set sail for the Port of St. Lucia for a hedonistic retreat of twenty-four hour opium-fuelled orgies with the local lovelies.
When the British arrive to ruin the party, Jack arranges an impromptu defense of the island with coconut grenades and syphilis. Legend.
Next: Christian Bale [page-break]
Christian Bale
Who? Putting the Angry in A-List, Bale is one of the most bankable stars of his generation, currently heading two franchises and with a slate of high profile films coming in the future.
Why He'd Be Good For The Role: Bale brings a presence to any role he inhabits, and immerses himself so completely he'll often stay in character not just for the duration of the shoot, but for all the press afterwards.
After Depp, there'll be a rather large pair of metaphorical boots to fill, and Bale certainly has the clout. Though any Jack Sparrow played by Christian Bale is going to be a very different proposition indeed…
Plot Adjustments: Everything just got very serious in the Caribbean… deadly serious, and Jack Sparrow is proper pissed off.
Storming around the seas like a one-man squall, Sparrow chews more scenery than a Jack Nicholson vs. Al Pacino Scenery Chowdown, gruffly barking his dialogue at anyone and everyone in earshot.
Turns out that someone has interrupted his work flow, and Jack isn't going to rest until that person loses their job, their family and their lives…
Who, if anyone, could you see replacing Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow? Comment me-hearties!

Emeryville Lofts
Emeryville Lofts Emeryville, California
This former fruit-drying warehouse, originally constructed in 1925, was converted into a contemporary live/work loft community in 1999 and offers a unique garden oasis with communal and private outdoor spaces for residents. The main entry court features a 54-foot waterfall. Water descends along a corrugated form and drops into a pond that runs the full length of the garden. The garden is paved with flagstone and salt-finished concrete. Galvanized sheet metal is used to create a basketweave effect in the curving fences that define the private garden areas. Engineered lumber is used for the entry decking, providing a textured, low-maintenance surface. Tall palm trees give a sense of scale against the six-story building. Timber bamboo creates a grove adjacent to the garden pool. Full-scale and dwarf Japanese maples, along with ferns and jasmine, provide a variety of textures.

Hailey got to switch to a big girl car seat last weekend and now faces forward! She took over Tyson's car seat and he got a new one. She rode in it for the first time on Sunday. She was a little confused at first, kept wanting to reach for me and didn't understand why I wouldn't pick her up. But then she loved it (surprise surprise). It will really be nice the next time we go on a trip - hopefully she will watch movies like her brother and I won't have to ride on the floor between the two back seats...

The terms "wedding cinematographer" and "wedding videographer" are often used interchangeably – admittedly, even on UProductions' own website. However, these words actually have distinct meanings. Whereas a videographer's role is simply to record the day's events, generally using limited camera techniques, a cinematographer captures the emotions and atmosphere of a couple's wedding. Moreover, a cinematographer creates an artistic and compelling film about the bride and groom's special day, by blending creative shooting with a unique storytelling approach. UProductions prides itself on providing its clients with high caliber wedding cinematography, and believes that Carol and Peter's same-day-edit is a prime example of this.
Carol and Peter's wedding was held on July 13, 2014. For the entire week, rain was forecasted, and even on the day of their nuptials, meteorologists predicted thunder storms. Amazingly, save for a brief rain shower in the morning, the day was bright and sunny. Everyone was relieved by the gorgeous weather – most of all, Carol and Peter!
Guests travelled from all over the globe to share this special day with Carol and Peter, many from as far as Egypt. It was a joyous event, enjoyed by more than 400 of the couple's nearest and dearest. It is worth mentioning that Sam Jahshan, an incredible DJ from Amar Entertainment, played a key role in making Carol and Peter's reception a success. UProductions has worked with Sam on numerous occasions, and he always keeps the party going well into the night.
We hope you enjoy viewing Carol and Peter's same-day-edit. Also, keep an eye out for their wedding photography and engagement photos, which we will be posting to this site in the near future.
Congratulations, again, Carol and Peter. We wish you a lifetime of happiness, together!

Book Description:
In this memoir, Attorney Sanford Perliss narrates a fascinating and surprising insider's journey into the world of criminal and immigration law in the multicultural melting pot of Southern California. A former Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney, Perliss became the first American lawyer licensed by the People's Republic of China to open a foreign law office in Central China, Sichuan Province, City of Chengdu. Perliss' unorthodox journey began as a prosecutor, and quickly evolved into criminal defense lawyer, then immigration lawyer, then American lawyer practicing in China. Perliss writes of his involvement in famous cases such as The Night Stalker, The Thai Slavery Case, and The German Tourist Slaying Case; and not so famous but intriguing cases: The Mayan Maestro of Break-dance, The Dim Sum Kidnapping, Murder of a Government Informant and Dead Body in the Park. Perliss tells of unusual Chinese immigration cases in Los Angeles County's San Gabriel Valley: A Politician from Taiwan, A Twice Hapless Widow, and Mr. Fan & the Red Envelope. Finally, he relates startling cases he stumbled upon in China, like The Case of the Five Million Dollar Bond. Throughout the journey, Perliss reminds the reader of the world's interconnectivity, how one client leads to another, how one idea evolves into many, how one acquaintance, friend or source of business combines with others to resolve a client's case. Perliss' own sensibilities are always just below the surface although at times they emerge. In the section entitled Europe and the Dancing Girl, on behalf of a client imprisoned in Holland and referred by a Southern California lawyer and friend, Perliss enlists the help of a Belgian lawyer whom he met under comical circumstances in Beijing while receiving his China law office license. While defending this matter, an odd and chance encounter overwhelms Perliss' usually steady demeanor. In developing his practice in China, he becomes acquainted with his Taiwan-born wife's long-lost China family, which included a high-ranking member of the People's Liberation Army, and in a toast, Perliss turns the tables on the Colonel. Another member of the China family and employee of Perliss' Chengdu law firm disappears on a visit to America. Perliss weaves legal cases together in a way that fascinates and teaches the reader the essentials of American law. At the same time, he describes the emotional rollercoaster of a law practice, and the life of a Los Angeles lawyer in America as well as an American lawyer in China. While Perliss never loses his Midwestern Jewish-American roots, he finds himself profoundly immersed in Chinese culture as lawyer to the Chinese community and son-in-law of Taiwan and the People's Republic of China.

The pub with Bruno Solo is crap
Like everyone, I can enjoy the poker advertisements harassment from Poker Company which has just been authorized by the ARJEL. But, then I have to admit had, the advertising with Bruno Solo for the online poker site 'party poker' is really crap.
At the beginning of the ad, you can see Bruno Solo playing poker in front of his computer screen; he already doesn't look really novoline online focused on it. Then, he is complaining about not having a good game, personally, the game of the artist as an actor is pretty crappy when you think he had played already for French movies, he could do something much better.
Then, after that, he is yelling at his wife because he doesn't like her music: The French looser. Do you want to play poker after that? At the end of the ad, he received pocket queen, and he smiles and stops to yell at his wife. The idea that I retain is: a looser who can't play poker and who accuses his wife because he is losing.

Conservative MP Blasts Court For Equal Rights Ruling
The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal ruled on Monday that civil marriage commissioners—individuals licensed by the government to perform non-religious civil marriage ceremonies—cannot refuse to marry same-sex couples.
Saskatchewan's government, under premier Brad Wall, had asked the court for advice on two proposed bills. One would have allowed marriage commissioners to deny public services to gay couples, and the other would have allowed only marriage commissioners licensed before the legalization of same-sex marriage to do so. Both proposals were ruled unconstitutional.
This decision was expected and right. Marriage commissioners are there to perform non-religious, legal ceremonies and are not representatives of their privately held religious beliefs. Allowing a public service employee to refuse their duties based on the sexual orientation of their clients would have been unprecedented, opening a can of writhing, slimy worms as to what other services can be denied to the public.
Not everyone is content with the court's ruling, of course. Maurice Vellacott, a Conservative MP (who has been on this site before, imagine that), angrily blasted the court decision on Tuesday. "The Court has hereby belittled religious faith or any faith for that matter," he announced, hereby, in a press interview. "It sets up a hierarchy of rights saying these same-sex rights are more important than freedom of consience and religion."
Utter nonsense, of course. No one, not even gays, are allowed to deny public services to anyone legally entitled to those services. That right never existed, and this ruling hasn't changed it. Religious freedom, also, still exists in Canada. Everyone is free to worship whichever religion they choose.
So, if you believe that a gaggle of motley-clad deities mandates that all moral humans must get their left nipple pierced by an 84-year-old former acrobat upon graduating high school and have it fastened with a pewter-cast triskaidecagon, then by all means, go for it. But that doesn't mean you get to go around denying boating licenses to anyone who has their pewter-cast triskaidecagon through their right nipple instead of their left.
At least, I think so. Technically, that court decision is still pending.

Why Ensemblists Are Marching Today
Mo Brady
Across the country today, women and men are coming together at public marches to make their voices heard. We asked some friends why they are participating in the Women's Marches taking place in Washington D.C. and in other cities.
We must all march forward and never look back! We can't let one man pull us back in time. I am very proud to be a smart, strong women surrounded by men and women who show constant support and encouragement. And people who speak up for what they believe. I refuse to look back!
Cameron Adams (Dance Partners and Cameron Adams: Unedited)
We need to march to stand up for the rights of women. Equal pay, maternity leave, reproductive rights. The suffragettes fought for similar rights over 100 years ago, and now we must make the stand again. I truly believe we can and will be heard. It is our responsibility to stand up and be counted.
Chloë Campbell
There have been so many marches in Washington, DC, but never one that has brought together the women in this nation. A march that allows women to show just how strong, and resilient, and patient we have been. Well, our patience, or pleas for equality have not been heard. Now is the time to show up, and make those people that hold our rights at arms length finally hear us. We will no longer walk behind. We will no longer be quiet and "stay in our place." Our place, our station, our role is whatever we say it is, and we will not be put in any boxes any longer. The box is open, and there is no closing it again.
Dionne Figgins (Ensemblist Essentials: Pre-Production, Ensemblists Give Back)
We are all just humans on this planet- we are of equal value and importance, made of the same matter, and therefore should be afforded the same rights. However we know that is not the case for many, and when someone falls down you must help pick them up, for when one person suffers we all suffer. I am marching not only because I am a woman, or a member of the LGBT community, but also because it is my duty to march with and for the rights of all other disenfranchised women. Showing up, being a small part of a large entity, and marching is the least we can do and is just the beginning of a much greater social justice fight for equal rights for all.
Lili Froehlich
The women's march is important to me because it stands for a larger resolution. It should inspire and incite action. We are so used to easy social media hashtags, retweets, and likes, but Snapchat feeds fade away. Real resistance and progress requires real interaction. Organized activism. It's time.
Sasha Hutchings (The History of the Ensemblist: Hamilton)
I march because I wish for a country that chooses love over hate.
I march because I hope for a land that spreads peace over violence.
I march because I am a woman and I respect my fellow man.
I march because I am female and deserve to be treated as a human being.
I march because I have nieces that should only know the meaning of equal pay for equal rights.
I march because I should be the only one who decides what can happen to my body.
I march because I can not tolerate intolerance.
I march because I love the United States and we are better than what is currently happening.
I march because I choose to be part of the solution.
I march because women can change the world.
Michelle Kittrell (Containing Multitudes, Part 2)
I am not able to make it to D.C., but I will be marching in the Women's March on Seattle in solidarity. As a mom, I walk for my children and for the future they deserve. As a person of mixed race, I walk to honor the work of my ancestors and civil rights leaders. It is more important than ever, as a parent, to raise good human beings who believe in equality, justice and kindness, and to teach the importance of standing up for what is right. For those reasons, I will march proudly.
Nikki Long
I love being an American. But I am disheartened by the incoming administration's positions and ideals when it comes to mass incarceration, women's rights, charter schools, race relations, foreign allies, healthcare, lgbtq rights, etc. I have never protested in my life, but these past few months have pushed me to a breaking point. We, the people, must use our might to force our leaders to listen to us. This is not the time to stay quiet.
Matt Meigs
I am marching because, enough of women being in tribes. White, Black,Christian, Muslim,gay, Latin, Asian women need to stop the division in our gender. We have a lot of work to do and we can not do that separated. It's time for women all over the world to stand up, and let our strong,complicated, messy,fragile voices be heard.
Vasthy Mompoint (Ensemblist Essentials: As Cast, Ensemblists Give Back)
Marching is important to me because to march as a people, is to remind our government that they represent the people. That it is their duty to enforce and protect our civil rights. I want to be a part of that cause and pledge to fight for equal rights in this country. I want to show I am an ally to every single human no matter their race, religion, disability, sexuality, or gender.
Sara Shepard
Unfortunately I will not be able to march on Saturday, but I stand behind the many people who will. It is important to remind our President-elect that it is not only an obligation but his sworn duty to serve ALL the people of this country - not just those who look like him or agree with him. Nothing short of that will be tolerated.
Molly Tynes (Special Skills, Molly Tynes: Unedited)
I think being a New Yorker is tough. You have to be extra strong, extra motivated, and extra sound of mind and heart. Being a NYC woman is even harder. And the women's march offers a sense of sisterhood. A safe way for women to come together and express themselves. On a grander scale the women's march is a unifying force in the struggle for equality of all people. Unity is power. Being a woman is powerful.
Amy Van Norstrand
America's recent political climate has been a whirlwind of massive negativity. Indecency has been allowed to run rampant in our nation, and people in power are allowing it to become normalized- this is not acceptable, to me. I march to take a physical, peaceful stand for civility and human decency within our country- to stand for the protection of our collective civil and human rights. I march to demand basic human kindness, tolerance, compassion, dignity, freedom, and to encourage us all to lovingly continue creating equality for all citizens.
Alèna Watters (Listener Questions 2013, Aléna Watters: Unedited)
I'm marching because I'm tired of being angry, scared, or disheartened, alone in my apartment staring at a screen. I'm ready to be inspired and encouraged, outside, in the fresh air, looking into the faces of allies and friends.
Paige Williams
I'm participating because the theater has always been a safe place for artistic expression in my life and I want to renew my commitment to keeping it that way and making it a welcoming place for everyone in the years to come.
Libby Winters
I march because I want to protect my rights as a woman, as a union member and as a citizen of the United States. I march because our country was founded on the principles of inclusivity not exclusivity. I march because policy is not something you create 140 characters at a time. I march because our democracy is fragile and the only thing that can strengthen it is the voice of the people.

Just a quick tour of our chemical etching process
1. Design Advice
At all stages of the chemical etching process, our engineers at Photofabrication will offer advice both to improve the product and reduce the costs. We are able to view all types of data; from sophisticated CAD files to "back of a fag packet" sketches. Our metallurgist will advise you on the most suitable metal to use for your application. A wide range of metals and thicknesses are held in stock.
2. Receipt of Drawings
The customer sends data to Photofabrication either in the form of a drawing or an electronic file. This is converted using CAD to allow for the etching compensation and "stepped and repeated" to fit as many components as possible onto the film.
3. Film Plotting
This is then high speed laser plotted to create the Graphic Tool. Two tools are prepared; one for each side of the metal, which allows etching from both sides. Variances between the two tools can facilitate "half-etching" from one side.
4. Metal Selection
We carefully review the component usage to ensure that the correct metal has been selected both from a performance and cost perspective. Full traceability is maintained on all grades of metal, certificates are available upon request.
5. Metal Preparation
Before coating the metal with photosensitive resist, the metal is thoroughly cleaned to remove all dirt, rust, greases and oils. This allows good adhesion to the photosensitive resist to be obtained.
6. Resist Lamination
Photosensitive resists are UV light-sensitive polymers which are applied to the metal either as a liquid by dip coating or more usually as a dry film which is applied by hot roller lamination. The type of process used depends on the metal being used and the type of subsequent processing required. The coating is applied to both sides of the metal.
7. Printing
The Graphic Tool carrying the component image is now laid over both sides of the metal which has been previously coated with the photosensitive resist. The combination of Graphic Tool and coated metal is then exposed to UV light to transfer the image onto the metal coating.
8. Developing
The area of photosensitive resist which has been protected from the UV light by the Graphic Tool, remains soft and is then chemically developed away leaving the metal exposed ready for etching. The component image remains protected by the resist.
9. Etching
The prepared metal sheets are now passed through the etching machine to remove the exposed metal. Virtually all metals can be etched, although some are etched more readily than others. Photofabrication have a sophisticated etchant tank farm, allowing the ideal solution to be used to obtain the best quality. The etchant is regenerated to maintain a constant etch rate, lower environmental impact and improve economic.
10. Stripping
The final process of PCM (Photo Chemical Milling) is to strip off the resist from the etched component and ensure that the metal is clean. A combination of automation and operator care is employed depending on the component specification.
11. Inspection and Packing
The components are checked electronically to ensure they conform to dimensional specifications and they are visually inspected for any surface defects. High quality finished products are then securely packed for overnight delivery.

Circular Lifestyle Alternatives
Single use conveniences like plastic straws, cups, lids, stir sticks, take out containers, and plastic water bottles (to name a few) are all extremely wasteful and are an exponential addition to landfill sites as well as the trash patches in our oceans. Using compostable or biodegradable to-go ware is a bandaid and not a solution to the problem--it reinforces the habit of disposable convenience. Replacing these things that we use every single day for reusable alternatives is crucial. These replacements are high quality, eco-friendly and will last for a long long time, so they are a worthwhile investment!
Let me break it down for you...
Replace your disposable coffee cups by BRINGING YOUR OWN CUP!
Replace plastic produce bags with COTTON CLOTH OR MESH BAGS, you can also sew your own.
Replace plastic or paper grocery bags with CLOTH BAGS (available for purchase at most health food stores).
Bring your own RE-USABLE CONTAINERS to fill up on bulk. I love my mason jars, and they are very affordable if you buy them at your local health food store or thrift for them (usually around 1 dollar each).
Replace plastic straws with METAL STRAWS.
Replace sponges with ECO-BRUSHES or COPPER SCRUBBERS
Replace toxic dish soap & hand soap with ECO-FRIENDLY BULK SOAPS. To do this, bring your mason jars to the bulk section at your health foods store and fill those babies up! If you live here in Santa Cruz, I always recommend New Leaf; however, they unfortunately do not have liquid soaps in bulk, so in this case try the Herb Room or Way of Life.
Replace dryer sheets with DRYER BALLS. They reduce drying time as well as help to soften your clothes without the use of harsh chemicals. Dryer balls can usually be found at your local health food store or you can make your own.
Replace toxic laundry detergents with ECO-FRIENDLY DETERGENTS that are packaged in a box (avoid plastic). Or make your own zero-waste detergent. Or buy liquid laundry soap in bulk.
Replace your toxic cleaning Chemicals with HOMEMADE ONES.
COMPOST YOUR FOOD WASTE. When you sweep your house, empty your dustpan into the compost. Hair from your brush and dryer lint can also be composted.
Donate your old clothes, and shop second hand. When you buy second hand items you are not only keeping it green, but finding one of a kind treasures!
Replace your lotions and potions for HOMEMADE ONES.
Cancel your Bulk Mail & Junk Mail
Replace Tampons and pads with a MENTRUAL CUP & ORGANIC COTTON CLOTH PADS.
The list goes on........Feel free to contact me with any questions!

Gaby Rico
United States
Gaby Rico was born on January 2, 1979, in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico. She now lives in Edinburg, Texas, USA. Rico is a self taught artist who began painting in 2006. Rico has exhibited art work in multiple cities across the Rio Grande Valley, San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Italy, Spain, Denmark and many others.
The manner in which she tends to execute her paintings can be described within an array found between Abstract and Expressionism, despite the admittance of transcending the established rules. Gaby Rico often intends to provoke visual pleasure no-boundaries in her work. Rico loves mixed technique approaches because of the sense of absolute freedom while creating art, and the endless richness from materials and perceptions that result in nourishing the eyes and the soul.
