Where Are You Located?
We are located in Rye, New York, which enables us to work throughout the Tri-State area, including in New York City, as far south as the Jersey Shore, as far west as Northern New Jersey, throughout Westchester, Rockland, Dutchess and Orange counties, and in Southern Connecticut as far east as New Haven. If you have a destination event and want to work with us, we would be delighted to discuss the logistics.
Do You Have A Studio?
No. We shoot all of our portraits on locations, indoors and outdoors. If you want to book studio headshots, we bring studio-quality equipment to your facility, home or office.
How Should I Prepare for My Portrait or Headshot Session?
All you have to do is look and feel your best. Before the shoot we'll discuss what kind of portraits or headshots you want and we'll take it from there, including sorting the logistics. You are part of the process.
What Should I Wear?
We will discuss everything before the session. For family portraits, you can decide if you want everyone to dress in a similar fashion or not – this is entirely up to you and your family. For professional headshots, if you're an actor or musician, or you're going to post your headshot on a dating site or on LinkedIn, we want you to be comfortable and well-groomed, so you look and feel your best, and so your style reflects your personality. For corporate headshots, it depends on your organization's requirements as to how formal the headshots will be, i.e., corporate casual, shirt and tie, etc. We will determine this with your human resources department prior to the shoot.
Do You Offer Hair and Makeup Services?
Yes. We partner with a number of incomparable hair and make-up professionals who will help you look absolutely fantastic for the shoot.
How Long Will the Portrait or Headshot Session Take?
A family portrait usually takes up to two hours, depending on the number of family members, including pets, and the number of locations. Headshots usually take an hour. Our set-up time is part of the duration of each session.
After the Session, How Long Will It Take Until I Can See the Images?
We will have a gallery of proofs available for you on our website within 48 hours of your session. Once you select your final images, you'll receive your retouched, hi-res files within two days.
Do You Offer Retouching Services?
Yes. For portraits and headshots, all final images will include standard retouching. Please feel free to discuss more extensive retouching of your photos with us.

ASPCA, Best Friends Animal Society, Capezio, The Capitol Theater, Chicken Soup for the Soul, House of Kaizen, Jacobsen Consulting Applications (JCA), MB Productions, New York Public Library, Stop & Shop, Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. (VHB).
What Sets You Apart from Other Area Photographers?
Beyond the quality of our photographs and the care we take of our clients, we are known for the relationships we have built throughout the Tri-State area and particularly in Westchester, where many of the families we work with hire us for all of their portraits and holiday cards and all of their family celebrations. We don't just shoot photographs, we document the growth of our clients' families and the milestones they celebrate.

Number 256: Charles Bukowski "The Laughing Heart"
The Laughing Heart
your life is your life
don't let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can't beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.
-- Charles Bukowski
Hap Notes: Well now, this poem is a big window into the compassionate heart of Charles Bukowski, whose gruff and often ribald public persona dominates his reputation. Bukowski had plenty of what the nine-to-five world would call troubles and what the world of struggling artists would call, ironically, "business as usual." Doubly ironic because the "business" of being who you really are is the hardest and most frustrating job you will ever tackle and does not really resemble business in any way.
The business world has co-opted phrases like "coloring outside of the lines," "thinking outside of the box," "pushing the envelope," "left brain thinking" to illustrate their own "creativity." One assumes these phrases are used to placate their discomfort with selling their souls to the devil. So let's them have them, even though it's a very clever way of clubbing themselves into submission.
No, what Bukowski is talking about is the frustrating life of someone who has a drive to do something which may or may not ever be successful. If you are an artist and you are always working at your vocation/avocation with relatively little remuneration or what the nine-to-five world would call "success" what you do get is your life, your own life.
Yes, but, Hap, those nine-to-five people keep the world going, keep things moving, allowing artists to live on the fringes. Everybody can't be creative, can they? Everybody can't be satisfied with what they've chosen do to, can they? Well, quite frankly, sure they can but the kind of dismantling of contemporary culture that would have to take place in order for that to happen makes my head hurt just thinking about it. We'd all have to agree to give up some things, live a little differently and choose to be happy. As long as there are people who think making money is actually making something real and significant, this ain't gonna happen. (Quick– name the richest person from Van Gogh's era, or Tolstoy's, or even Bukowski's. Who the hell cares?)
So what is Bukowski talking about by saying "the gods will offer you chances"? It's probably not wealth, but it does mean survival. It may not mean "success" but it does mean the satisfaction of doing something you have a fire within to do. It may not mean recognition but it may mean the appreciation of a few people who understand your work. It will be enough to help you to continue.
If you've ever looked up at the night sky with its stars and galaxies and been filled with awe and wonder and inspiration, you are experiencing the ride the universe is willing to give you if you will let it. Maybe for you it's not the stars. Maybe it's a car engine or an algebra problem or a crushed up tin can on the side of the road or a bird or a butterfly or a tree that gets you thinking, inspiring you to write or paint or sing or invent. This ride is often slightly dangerous (no net!) and it won't always be exactly what you want it to be but it will be amazing. And the more you feel connected to this cosmic cruise, the more "light there will be."
Because you, and everybody else, has marvelous stuff embedded in them. It's just waiting for us to discover it. Then, hang on for the ride of your life, your own life. This minute. Right now. Your heart will laugh with glee.
Here is where we have talked about Bukowski before: happopoemouse.blogspot.com/2011/01/number-43-charles-bukowski-so-you-want.html
Here is Tom Waits reading today's poem: www.youtube.com/watch?v=va1t6a0zCkQ
The pictures are the "universal form" of Lord Krishna, who reveals himself to his friend and follower Arjuna, in the Bhagavad Gita. Arjuna is, understandably, freaked out by the revelation that Krishna, is the universe, is everyone.

The Armacham Helicopter is an enemy unit that appears in F.E.A.R. 3.
Monolith TimelineEdit
F.E.A.R. 3Edit
These helicopters are manufactured by Armacham Technology Corporation, and are designed to combine transport and attack roles into a single platform, the concept first found on the Hind D Gunship. One of these helicopters is highjacked at the end of Interval 02 by the Point Man and Paxton Fettel to return to Fairport.
Armacham Helicopters are rarely encountered because, just like the Enhanced Power Armor, they are very difficult to destroy without the use of a Power Armor, explosives or an Arc Beam. They can drop off troops and/or attack the player directly with their dual chainguns and rockets. They are fought exclusively in Intervals 06 and 07.
Many of them perish during the campaign, as every time Alma Wade has a contraction, she unwittingly sends out a shockwave that acts like an EMP. Once the helicopter gets hit, it spins out of control and crashes.
Defeating the helicopters can be difficult, due to the high damage weapons they utilize and better agility compared to land vehicles. In Interval 06, the player has the option of using the EPA to defeat the choppers, making the encounters a walk in the park, at least on lower difficulties. If on foot, or fighting the helicopter in Interval 07, use only heavy weaponry, such as S-HV Penetrator, Arc Beam and Goliath. If these are not in the player's arsenal, any high damage-per-shot weapons can be utilized, such as G3A3 Assault Rifles and Briggs SMGs. If playing as Fettel and not possessing a body, his stun blasts do moderate damage to choppers, though taking cover (for both characters) is still highly recommended to null the helicopter's barrage.
- The design of the ATC Helicopter is similar to the NH-90 and the Eurocopter Super Puma.
- The design seems to be a cross between the Blackhawk and the Hind of previous games.
- The Helicopters are never fought in the multiplayer modes, making them, along with Cannibals and Mech Mules "campaign only" enemies.
- Unlike other mechanical enemies, the helicopters do not seem to have any armor, and are equipped with high health only. Also, unlike REV9 Powered Armors and EPAs, helicopters do not have an on-board repair system, so the player need not worry about delaying between attacks to regain health if severely injured.
- The helicopter is only hostile to the player in Interval 06 and 07.
- Point Man seems to have pilot training, as he is seen flying ATC Helicopter between second and third interval.

The La Aurora Preferidos Emerald Sun Grown Robusto was such a rich and flavorful premium cigar that I smoked two in a row— something that I rarely do! Shortly after this chain smoking experience I ordered a box and every cigar was just as delicious as the next. With three more boxes sitting in my shopping cart waiting for me to pull the trigger, this has quickly become one of my new go-to full bodied smokes.

Ronda, Spain
Somewhere in the south of Spain, in the heart of Andalusia, in the midst of the White Village region lies the lovely town of Ronda. As one can tell from the photo, Ronda is famously split into two sections by a dramatic gorge with dangerously steep cliff-sides. Pretty white houses cling to the edges, the Guadelevin River cuts through it, and cacti slowly crawl their way up the steep faces of the cliffs. The site itself dates back to the Neolithic age, was once home to the Celts, the Phoneticians and later conquered and rebuilt by the Romans. As with most Spanish cities, its history is impressive! As for its most distinctive feature…these famous cliffs were actually the model for the cliffs from which the fascists were thrown off in Hemingway's novel, 'For Whom the Bell Tolls.'

Piedmont is a city in Calhoun and Cherokee counties in the U.S. state of Alabama. The population was 4,878 at the 2010 census. It is included in the Anniston-Oxford, Alabama Metropolitan Statistical Area. Many surrounding communities are served by the 36272 ZIP code, including Spring Garden, Rock Run, Knighten's Crossroads, and Nance's Creek. The current mayor is Bill Baker, who was chosen by the city council to lead after elected mayor Rick Freeman resigned due to medical issues.
Founding and early growth
The area now known as Piedmont is a community that began in the early 1840s, located at the crossroads of two early post roads. Major Jacob Forney Dailey of North Carolina came to Alabama in 1848 and bought land in present-day Piedmont. Major Dailey named the area Cross Plains, and an official post office with that name was established on September 22, 1851.
In Reconstruction-era Alabama, an incident at Cross Plains affected race relations and the future of the northeast section of the state for generations as a result of the lynching of William Luke, a northern missionary, and several other men in 1870. In that year, the new northern-owned railroad to connect Washington, D.C. and the North with New Orleans was to have its headquarters near the small northeast Alabama town, at Patona. After the Ku Klux Klan-led lynchings, however, the headquarters was moved, and the town never achieved the dominant position in Calhoun County, with Anniston, founded the next year, achieving that status instead.
Wall Street financier Franklin Delano, uncle of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was president of the railroad at the time. The railroad sponsored a school for African-American children of freedmen, and Luke was the teacher. Word spread in the area that Luke was teaching racial equality, and resentment developed against him in the northern Calhoun County area. The railroad was planning to use the graduates as a source of students for Talladega College who might then go on to work for the railroad. A racial fight at the Cross Plains station gave rise to arrests of certain freedmen, and then of Luke as well. Klansmen then seized the prisoners and murdered them. Congressional hearings followed, with strengthened civil rights laws, but the murderers were never properly punished.
On July 30, 1888, the Postal Department renamed the office Piedmont, which means "Foot of the Mountains".
Recent history
An F4 tornado struck the community on Palm Sunday 1994, killing twenty people at Goshen United Methodist Church including Reverend Kelly Clem's four-year-old daughter, Hannah. It destroyed two other area churches mid-service as well as many homes in the town and neighboring communities.
Piedmont is located at 33°55′34″N 85°36′47″W / 33.92611°N 85.61306°W According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 9.9 square miles (25.6 km2), of which 9.8 square miles (25.4 km2) is land and 0.077 square miles (0.2 km2), or 0.67%, is water.
School sports
The Piedmont City Schools athletic teams are known as the Bulldogs. Piedmont High School is a member of the Alabama High School Athletic Association and participates in Class 3A Football, Basketball, Baseball, Wrestling (1A-4A), Golf (Boys 3A, Girls 1A-5A), Volleyball, and Track. They also have a band: the Piedmont Blue Knights Marching Band, class 2A.
On February 6, 2009, under Head Coach Harley Lamey, the Piedmont High School wrestling team won the first state championship in school history in any sport. At the AHSAA 1A-4A State Wrestling Championship, the bulldogs had two individual champions, two runners-up, and nine wrestlers who placed. The Bulldogs were 14-0 in dual meets.
On December 3, 2009, at Bryant–Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Head Coach Steve Smith led Piedmont to a 35-28 overtime win over the Cordova Blue Devils in the AHSAA 3A State Championship Game. Luke Smith tied state record for most tackles in 3A state championship game (according to the AHSAA 15) and recovered Ryan Smith's fumble to secure the Bulldogs' win. Christian Cantrell was responsible for four of the Bulldogs' touchdowns and one two-point conversion totalling 26 points, but Chase Childers' performance as QB named him the MVP of the Championship Game. The team finished with a 13-2 record.
On December 3, 2015, at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Head Coach Steve Smith led Piedmont to a 44-7 win over Bayside Academy in the AHSAA 3A State Championship Game. Taylor Hayes and Darnell Jackson combined for 124 yards on 18 carries and four touchdowns. The victory gave Piedmont (14-1) its second football state title in school history – exactly six years after Bulldogs won their first, concluding the 2009 season. Also, Piedmont's run to the title included a school record for wins in a season (14) and points scored (572). On May 4, 2013, Head Coach Mark Mitchell led the Piedmont High School Boys Track and Field Team to the 2013 AHSAA 3A Track & Field State Championship in Selma. The Bulldogs scored 81 points to outpace runner-up Trinity Presbyterian, which scored 74. This was Coach Mitchell's seventh consecutive state championship (six previous at 1A Cedar Bluff).
Chief Ladiga Trail
Piedmont is home to the Chief Ladiga Trail. The Seaboard/CSX Railroad was converted into a recreational bike and walking trail as a non-motorized way to travel, exercise, and relax while enjoying the outdoors. The Chief Ladiga Trail and the Silver Comet Trail stretch nearly 100 miles (161 km) from Anniston to Atlanta, making it the second longest paved trail in the United States(longest being the Paul Bunyan in Minnesota).
Cheaha Challenge
Hundreds of cyclists from more than 20 states participate in the Cheaha Challenge every year. The "Toughest Ride in the South" is a recreational bicycle ride that has been moved to Anniston, AL from Piedmont's Civic Center. The ride follows the Appalachian Highlands Scenic Byway then ends at the top of Cheaha Mountain, Alabama's highest point. The Cheaha Challenge was selected as a Top 10 Event in the State of Alabama by the Alabama Bureau of Tourism & Travel.

About Book
There is nothing remarkable about the plot of Sue Miller's graceful novel, The World Below. Cath Hubbard, a San Francisco woman in her 50s, returns to her grandmother's small Vermont house after the death of an aunt who left the property to Cath and her brother Lawrence. Cath had lived with her grandparents for a few years in her teens, after her mother's suicide, and now makes her wounded way back, in the wake of a divorce, to sort through her memories of her beloved grandmother, Georgia. This is the standard fare of American literary fiction: a life change prompting a search into the past. What is far less ordinary is Miller's placid, nuanced depiction of her protagonist's emotional journey. None of Cath's feelings can be easily predicted by the reader, but all of them ring true. She finds her grandmother's diary and begins to fill in the stories that Georgia had hinted at over the years. What Cath discovers in her grandmother's journal is a secret that has lost its power to shock; and that very wearing away of taboo adds to the poignancy of Georgia's restricted life. Her story unfolds against a backdrop of Cath's more immediate griefs and concerns and begins to recede as Cath's San Francisco life returns to claim her. Miller's prose appears effortless, but is like the gestures of a magician that conceal how the trick is accomplished. The result is a sage, continually surprising novel about finding peace of mind in a combination of habit, love, and self-determination. --Regina Marler
From Publishers Weekly
While Miller's gorgeous new novel, her sixth, works graceful variations of her perennial theme - our intimate betrayals - it also explores new terrain for the author: just what we can know of the past and of its influence on us. At the heart of Miller's story are two women, 52-year-old Catherine Hubbard and Catherine's now-deceased grandmother, Georgia Rice Holbrooke. At first blush, Catherine and Georgia couldn't seem more different. Catherine is a twice-divorced San Francisco schoolteacher, while her grandmother was a faithful country doctor's wife. But as the novel progresses, parallels emerge - the early deaths of their mothers, for instance - and their lives come to seem more deeply entwined. As the novel opens, Catherine and her brother have just inherited Georgia's old house in Vermont, and it is up to Catherine to figure out what to do with it. Still shell-shocked from her second divorce, Catherine decides to give life in Vermont a try, and, once settled, she discovers diaries and account books her grandmother kept, books that allow Catherine to reconstruct her grandmother's life. What Catherine discovers is a world she never imagined beneath the placid surface of Georgia's life. While she knew that Georgia was sent to a sanatorium for tuberculosis, she did not know the "san" changed Georgia's life. As Catherine sorts through her grandmother's life, she also sorts through her own: her mother's death, her two marriages, her boyfriends and her children. As readers have come to expect, Miller limns contemporary life in deft, sure strokes, with an unerring ear for the way parents and children talk; no one can parse a modern marriage as well as she can. But in this novel Miller's special gift to readers is her rendering of Georgia's life, particularly the two love stories that mark it. Miller portrays the feverish period in the san - the intrigues, the romances, the very romance of taking a cure - vividly and sensuously. (Surely her research was rigorous.) Likewise, Miller captures the early, fragile years of Georgia's marriage with great poignancy, ever dividing our sympathies between Georgia and her husband. In the Holbrookes, Miller has created a marriage that survives despite its fault lines, a marriage that seems both modern and old-fashioned: recognizably fraught, yet enduring, the sort of marriage readers hunger to read about. Perhaps that's why this novel is so satisfying. Random House audio (ISBN 0-375-41993-4). (Oct.) Forecast: Miller's many, many (mostly female) fans will relish this dip into the past, released in a 200,000-copy first printing. A 20-city author tour, advertising on Oprah and word-of-mouth should attract plenty of new readers, too.

From Library Journal
Miller (While I Was Gone) has a remarkable talent for paying scrupulous attention to the details of domestic life and nuances of personal relationships and then, with such seeming ease, relating them both truthfully and lovingly. Here she also shows the timelessness of the courses that human lives can take and the events that shape them. At 52, twice-divorced Cath Hubbard takes a sabbatical from her San Francisco teaching job to take possession of her grandparents' home. Contemplating starting a new life there in small-town Vermont, she uncovers truths about her beloved grandmother, Georgia Rice, on whom much of the story centers. Confined to a tuberculosis sanatorium before she was 20, Georgia found a different world with rules of its own where people behaved "scandalously," and her life was irrevocably changed. Cath finds parallels between her life and that of her Gran and insight into her grandparents' marriage that sheds light on her own failed ones, as events take the path of her own life out of her hands. A beautifully crafted and supremely satisfying work of fiction.

From AudioFile
After her grandmother, Georgia, dies, Catherine Hubbard goes to live in her house, where she discovers Georgia's letters and diaries. However, to say this is merely the story of two women would be shortsighted. Miller's writing is spare and polished. She illuminates the details of life. We taste the flavor of ripe fruit and the crystalline crunch of sugar on bread and butter on Sunday after church. She brings into sharp focus the differences between what we say and what we mean, the worlds below our words. Judith Ivey's performance is as complex as a Mozart flute quartet. Her ear is tuned to Georgia's Downeast cadences in the Maine of 1919, and to Cath's contemporary voice, a continent and almost a century away. The future and the past come together in this celebration of the simplicity of human experience. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
From Booklist
When Catherine Hubbard discovers the diary of her deceased grandmother, Georgia, she gains new insight into her family history. Georgia's mother died when she was 16. Forced to assume the role of caretaker to her younger siblings, she at first feels lost and alone; then, miraculously, she begins to build a truly independent life, setting her own almost-feral schedule--reading until midnight, climbing trees in the front yard with her sisters, shrieking and carrying on. But her "particular box of happiness" comes to an abrupt end when the local town doctor decides, by fiat, to send Georgia to a TB sanitarium; there she meets a young man and becomes his lover. When she finally returns home, she is no longer comfortable with her old life. Miller (While I Was Gone, 1999, an Oprah Book Club selection) excels at writing domestic fiction, and her novel fairly brims with vivid details of day-to-day family life, which she underpins with the overarching themes that mark all of her work: How much control should one person have over another? How do you move from misunderstanding and regret to intimacy? Although this novel might not be a good starting point for those new to her work--her subtle explorations of emotional nuance sometimes border on the obscure--veteran Miller devotees will not be able to put it down.

From the author of While I Was Gone, a stunning new novel that showcases Sue Miller's singular gift for exposing the nerves that lie hidden in marriages and families, and the hopes and regrets that lie buried in the hearts of women.

Maine, 1919. Georgia Rice, who has cared for her father and two siblings since her mother's death, is diagnosed, at nineteen, with tuberculosis and sent away to a sanitarium. Freed from the burdens of caretaking, she discovers a nearly lost world of youth and possibility, and meets the doomed young man who will become her lover.

Vermont, the present. On the heels of a divorce, Catherine Hubbard, Georgia's granddaughter, takes up residence in Georgia's old house. Sorting through her own affairs, Cath stumbles upon the true story of Georgia's life and marriage, and of the misunderstanding upon which she built a lasting love.

With the tales of these two women—one a country doctor's wife with a haunting past, the other a twice-divorced San Francisco schoolteacher casting about at midlife for answers to her future—Miller offers us a novel of astonishing richness and emotional depth. Linked by bitter disappointments, compromise, and powerful grace, the lives of Georgia and Cath begin to seem remarkably similar, despite their distinctly different times: two young girls, generations apart, motherless at nearly the same age, thrust into early adulthood, struggling with confusing bonds of attachment and guilt; both of them in marriages that are not what they seem, forced to make choices that call into question the very nature of intimacy, faithfulness, betrayal, and love.

Marvelously written, expertly told, The World Below captures the shadowy half-truths of the visible world, and the beauty and sorrow submerged beneath the surfaces of our lives—the lost world of the past, our lost hopes for the future. A tour de force from one of our most beloved storytellers.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Imagine it: a dry, cool day, the high-piled cumulus clouds moving slowly from northwest to southeast in the sky, their shadows following them across the hay fields yet to be cut for the last time this year. Down a narrow dirt road between the fields, a horse-drawn carriage, two old people wearing their worn Sunday clothes seated side by side in it, driving to town for their grown daughter's funeral. Neither of them spoke, though you could see, if you cared to look, that the old woman's lips were moving ceaselessly, silently repeating the same few phrases over and over. It was her intention, formed over the long weeks her daughter lay dying, to rescue her grandchildren from their situation, from their motherless house. To take all three of them back to the farm with her. She was rehearsing what she'd say, though she wasn't aware of her mouth forming the words, and her husband didn't notice.
Imagine this too: later in the afternoon of the same long day, the two older grandchildren, the girls, laughing together. Laughing cruelly at the old woman, their grandmother, for her misguided idea.
But perhaps it wasn't truly cruel. They were children, after all. As thoughtless as children usually are. What's more, they'd spent a good part of this strange day, the day of their mother's burial, laughing. Laughing nervously, perhaps with even a touch of hysteria, mostly because they didn't know what they ought to feel or think. Laughter was the easiest course. It was their way to ward off all the dark feelings waiting for them.
They'd been up before dawn, long before their father and little brother were awake, long before their grandparents started in to town, almost giddy with the number and variety of their chores. The meal after the church service was to be elaborate--deviled eggs, ham, scalloped potatoes, rolls, three kinds of jellied salad, pudding, and butter cookies--and they each had a list of things to do connected with it. They worked in the kitchen in their nightgowns, barefoot, as the soft gray light slowly filled the room. When the housekeeper, Mrs. Beston, arrived, she chased them upstairs to get dressed.
They had ironed their own dresses the day before because Mrs. Beston was so busy. They hung now on hangers from the hook behind their bedroom door, smelling of starch, smelling just slightly still of the heat of the iron--that sweet, scorchy odor. As they pulled them on over their heads and then helped each other plait their long braids, they were convulsed, again and again, by lurches of laughter that felt as uncontrollable as sneezing. Sometimes it was wild, almost mean. It fed on itself. Just looking at each other, or at their sleepy little brother, Freddie, who'd come in in his nightshirt, his hair poking up strangely, to sit on their bed and watch them, could set it off.
Maybe this explained it then--why, later in the day, when their father told them of their grandmother's notion, they couldn't stop themselves: why they gave way again to the same ragged hysteria. They laughed at her. They laughed at her and their grandfather's having clopped into town with horse and buggy; their father had had a motorcar forever, it seemed to them (it had been seven years). They laughed because she had only eight teeth left in her head and therefore smiled with her hand lifted to cover her mouth--they could both imitate this awkward, apologetic gesture perfectly. They laughed because she wore a ridiculous straw hat shaped like a soggy pancake, and an old-fashioned dress, the same old-fashioned dress she wore to all ceremonial events. They laughed because she had thought their father would so easily give them away.
"They are still children," is what the old woman said to her son-in-law. "They need a childhood." The two of them had gone together into the parlor after they greeted each other, and when she told him it was private, what she had to say to him, he shut the sliding pocket doors. It had been such a long time since anyone had pulled them out that a thick gray stripe of dust evenly furred all their decorative molding.
They sat not really looking at each other, the new widower and the dead woman's mother, and the grandmother forced herself to keep talking, to try to explain her plan to him. She wasn't a good talker, even in the easiest circumstances, and none of this was easy, of course. She hadn't imagined very much beyond her first statement ahead of time either. It was really her entire argument.
What's more, her son-in-law had always made her shy. He was a large, almost handsome man with slicked-down hair, getting burly now as he approached forty-five. He was a salesman, of vulcanized rubber goods, and his way of dealing with the world came directly from that life: he wanted to amuse you, to charm you. When he was courting her daughter--Fanny, her name was--he had flirted with the grandmother, and this had made her tongue-tied and silent around him. Once, after she'd served him a blueberry cake he found especially delicious, he'd grabbed her and waltzed her around the scrubbed wooden floors of her farmhouse kitchen. This had so unnerved her--his energy and strength, and her helplessness against them--that she'd burst into shameful tears.
That's what she felt like doing now, weeping, she was making such a mess of getting this said. It had seemed so clear to her as she moved through her solitary days while her daughter was dying and then since. The children needed her. They couldn't be left alone through the week any longer. The girls couldn't be asked to be so responsible--taking care of themselves and then their little brother too. It was too much. It was simply too much. They needed a home: someone to take care of them. She would offer to bring them to town on Fridays to be with him for the weekend. Or he could come out and stay with them on the farm. Oh, they'd be happy to have him!
All this planning had kept the image of her daughter--wasted, curled on her side, rising to consciousness only to cry out in pain--from her mind; though she'd spoken to Fanny often, another version of Fanny, as she'd made her preparations: as she'd shaken out the extra bedding, as she'd set out the framed pictures of her in the unused rooms she'd made up for the children. "Oh my dear girl," she had whispered. "They will be fine, you'll see. They just need someone to tend to them for a change, that's all, and I am the one to do it."
Her son-in-law waited a moment now, out of kindness and sorrow, before he answered. Then he cleared his throat and said that he saw things somewhat differently. His older daughter was almost sixteen, the younger thirteen--not really children at all. They were big, good girls. He needed their help, he said.
Of course, this was exactly her point. She didn't press it, though. She sat silently and nodded, just once, furious at herself. She was giving up. This easily.
And they were, he continued gently (very gently: he was fond of his mother-in-law, this cadaverously skinny and stern old woman), his children, after all.
She stood up and turned away from him, but not before he saw her mouth pull down, grim and defeated.
It had taken Fanny several years to die, of cancer, though no one had ever spoken the word in the house or in front of the children. And the truth was, as the grandmother would have admitted if she weren't wild with a grief that turned in like self-blame, that Fanny had been so unusual a young and then a nearly middle-aged woman that the girls had been in charge of the household long before anyone had guessed she was ill. So much for needing a childhood.
The girls were named Georgia and Ada. Georgia, the older, could remember even in the years when her mother was well, coming home from school for lunch, a privilege of the town children, to find the house silent, Fanny still in her housecoat, lying on the sofa in the parlor reading, just as she had been when Georgia left. She'd look up, surprised and dizzy. Her face was round and full, with fat, childish lips and a baby's startled blue eyes: a pretty, oddly unformed-looking young woman. "Why, Georgia," she'd say, day after day. "How can you be back so soon?" And then she'd rise and ineffectually pat at her hair or her robe. Often she was barefoot, even in winter. "Well, we'd better go see what we can scratch up for you girls to eat, hadn't we?"
It was a disgrace, really, though the children didn't care; they'd gotten used to it long before. In the kitchen, the breakfast dishes were still on the table, the grease congealed, the skin of the syrup pools lightly puckering with the unseen motion of the air. Upstairs, the beds would gape, unmade. When the baby, Freddie, came, Georgia's first task at noon would often be to take him up to the nursery to change his drooping diaper. "Oh, you pooper," she would say. "You big flop maker. Look what you've done now, you wicked boy." She would keep a steady stream of this insulting talk flowing, so that he would lie still in fascination and amusement and make her job easier, but also so that she wouldn't gag--she never got used to the piercing scent of ammonia, and worse, that she released each time she unpinned his sagging, weighted cloths.
It was a little while after Freddie came--Georgia later thought it must have been then that her mother had first become ill--that they began to have regular help, finally. Mrs. Beston. Her name was Ellen, but no one ever called her that, not even their mother. Mrs. Beston, always and only, though their father sometimes called her Mrs. Best One when she wasn't around to hear it. She was tall and raw-boned and strong. Entirely without humor, and yet endlessly, bottomlessly cheerful. She arrived Monday mornings, just as their father was leaving for the week. "You must take these children in hand, Mrs. Beston," he'd say, pulling on his coat. "They're spoiled rotten. A daily whipping, I should think, and gruel for supper four nights a week at the minimum." The children, ...

Only even numbers make the room stop spinning. 10. 12. 14. 16. In an hour-long monologue, WEIRD examines the uninterruptible strain obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) puts on a person's life. For Yasmin (Amy Rose Doyle), OCD means voices in her head and repetitive negative thoughts.
Having quit her second year of university early because of her mental health, Yasmin heads home. Back in Bolton, she bumps into people she used to know in Tesco, and teenage insecurities resurface. Inferiority reigns as she compares herself to others, telling herself she will never be as good, pretty, smart or thin as her best friend Hazel. Yasmin's mind turns ideas to facts and facts to threats, and her OCD feeds into an eating disorder. Her brain tells her belly that only numbers can make her feel full.
Narrating us through her school and home life as grief couples with her disorder, Doyle slips into each character she introduces us to with ease. She confidently holds our attention, managing to charm while simultaneously getting across her desperation. The direction is limited but the storytelling is clear.
Though Lucy Burke's writing sometimes tips into cliche, the script has delicate moments; finding out Yasmin's younger sister has 999 on speed-dial is particularly gutting. As a debut, it shows particularly strong understanding of character. WEIRD touches on how tough it is not just for Yasmin, but for her family too, desperate to help but unable to know how. Perhaps this debut play will be the start of an important conversation for another family in the future.

I've been a smoker of smoking cigarettes for sixty-two years. We stop smoking cigarettes cigarettes by using the Green Machine electronic digital cigarette. I was very skeptical when I purchased it, because I didn't accept anyone telling me personally that I could stop cigarettes.
The Green Equipment is an electronic cigarette that uses injections of a formula that makes you feel that you're smoking. The vapors that you inhale are flavored heavy steam. A smoker enjoys the smoke from a cigarette and without the similarity of smoke there is no satisfaction. The vapor is there when you exhale and provides considerable satisfaction
What about the kick, you ask?
You can purchase several flavours for the Green Equipment. Tobacco, blueberry, mint, menthol, and many more flavours are available and can be obtained with cigarette smoking in the formula, or without it. I started out with the tobacco flavour with nicotine, because I actually was skeptical of the smoker's satisfaction. I are now smoking the blueberry flavor, with nicotine, and I am very content with the smokers "kick". It appears that the only thing absent is the tars, but that's not detectable.
Exactly what is the difference between smoking cigarettes and the Green Equipment?
Cigarette smokers inhale tars from the tobacco that cause blockages in the blood stream. I stop smoking tobacco because My spouse and i had a heart assault. The key artery in my heart became blocked and could not pump the blood for recirculation. I had fashioned to have surgery to unblock the artery, and I spent five times in intensive care so they could get my heart to again overcome in a rhythmic mouvement.
The Green Machine will not produce tars and when consulting my cardiologist I received approval for use. The pleasure perhaps there is and the danger is minimal, in comparison to cigarettes.
I never thought I'd be able to quit cigarettes until I actually tried the Green Equipment. There are several other electronic cigarettes on the industry, but the Green Equipment is the one We use, and functions. 3 months ago I would have given anyone a stiff argument about the dangers of tobacco use. I had all the answers to all the anti-smokers' arguments. Now I actually know I used to be dead incorrect. No, I'm not useless, but I could have been because I was too stubborn to pay attention.

In terms of quitting smoking everyone panics and can't decide which smoking alternative/cessation to choose, as a result of side effects. The safest option and most healthy options are the electric cigarette. Are there any side effects to the e-cigarette?
Most people would say no side results what so ever. Nevertheless , I have to a little bit disagree. When you are trying a new product 90% of the time there is always some kind of concern. Here's what My spouse and i found out after using the electronic cigarette for 2 weeks straight now.
Dry up Mouth
From day one of using the electric cigarette I indeed experienced dry mouth. I never had dry mouth before, because I drink everywhere from 60-100 ounces of water a day vigilantly. After I took the first 10 puffs I actually noticed my mouth sense like cotton.
From that point on I upped my water to see if the dryness was actually coming from the e-cigarette. I puffed again a few times, and the cotton mouth delivered. However, the dry mouth area was not going to scare me away, because I AM SMOKE COST-FREE for 2 weeks, and this side effect is nothing.
Slight Headache
The initial few days of using the e-cig I actually had a slight headaches. I discovered my head damage more while i inhaled too much at any given time. The elements in the e-cigarette are propylene glycol, glycerin filtered water, nicotine, terpineol, methylfurfural, and vanilla extract.
Nevertheless after the two week mark I noticed the headache was gone. Might be every other day approximately I would get an extremely slight one but nothing to really grumble about.
Loss Of Urge for food
This side effect could be just the thing for many. They will say when you give up smoking you can gain weight. I think if your a food person really all in your brain and you will go right to food. However, with the e-vape I seen I really haven't recently been hungry at all. The more I puff on it, the more We lost my appetite. This may definitely vary everyone is different and can react different.
Although I experienced some effects I am still smoke free. This was totally worth it. Simply be sure to drink plenty of fluids to keep your body intact.

Emsi creates data for four distinct job types, or Classes of Worker (CoW): QCEW, Non-QCEW, Self-Employed, and Extended Proprietors. For simplicity, our basic Class of Worker option in Analyst is broken into two groups: Employees (a combo of QCEW and Non-QCEW), and Self-Employed. The advanced settings allow for mixing and matching of the four CoW; for a detailed breakdown on each and when to use them, read on.
What it is:
Our QCEW set is designed to match (as closely as possible) published figures from the BLS's Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages. As you may guess, our primary source for this CoW is the official QCEW. Areas where Emsi will differ include:
- Emsi fills in suppressed figures with estimates using other data sources (County & ZIP Business Patterns) and a mathematical process of adjusting to known state and industry totals.
- We also reclassify all public sector employment into distinct NAICS codes (including public schools and healthcare) as opposed to the BLS's use of "ownership codes." We do this to maintain consistency between industry and occupation figures in Analyst.
- Instances where classifications have changed over time. For example, when the NAICS 2012 system went live the BLS and other sources who use those codes did not retroactively apply the new system to old data. Emsi utilizes published crosswalks and regional analysis to use the current systems in all years for more accuracy when looking at job change over time.
When to use it:
QCEW is great at capturing wage & salaried jobs. It's estimated that about 96% of employee jobs in the country are captured in this set. But some are left out, including the military, most railroad workers, some non-profit organizations, some religious institution employees, and a handful of others. The primary use of the QCEW CoW on its own is to match published figures from the BLS.
What it is:
In order to get a fuller picture of employee jobs and wages, we developed the Non-QCEW CoW. This set comes from a combination of County & ZIP Business Patterns, the Railroad Retirement Board, and the American Community Survey.
In Analyst, we combine the QCEW and Non-QCEW sets into the "Employees" group under the basic Class of Worker settings. This combo is the best option for viewing wage and salaried employees, and excluding all self-employment from the picture.
When to use it:
Using QCEW and Non-QCEW together gives you the most complete picture of wage & salaried employment in the region. Depending on the sector you're viewing it might not make a huge difference to include or exclude Non-QCEW, but it's a good habit to always include it.
What is it:
The Self-Employed CoW is largely derived from the American Community Survey and Non-Employer Statistics. These jobs represent workers who consider self-employment their primary form of income.
When to use it:
Selecting both Employees and Self-Employed is often used to present the fullest picture of job activity in a region, regardless of employee or self-employed status. You can also view Self-Employed on its own to gauge entrepreneurial activity in your region, or see what sectors typically have more self-employment than others.
Extended Proprietors
What is it:
The last category, Extended Proprietors, was largely defined so that we could exclude it from the other sets. We commonly refer to this CoW as a junk drawer, because it contains many types of "workers" that our clients aren't typically interested in counting. A few examples: EP jobs can be someone who works full-time at a power plant, but also sells wooden spoons at the farmer's market. The secondary, "self-employed" income of selling spoons counts as an EP job. Another case can be investments, when someone has put money into a venture and receives income on the side. We get the data from Local Area Personal Income and the ACS, but a significant amount of modeling and estimating goes into producing the final occupation figures.
When to use it:
We recommend using the EP CoW carefully, and really understanding the variety of "jobs" that it represents. If "part-time self-employment" is an area of interest for you, this CoW can be useful. The main reason we have Extended Proprietors in our data at all is for the Input-Output model. I-O modeling is most accurate when you've accounted for ALL of the money swirling around an economy, and in the case of investments that can often be a huge chunk.

"Alien X! Seconded!"
New math: This disc is "Volume Three" of Ben 10 Alien Force, which concludes the show's first season, following four seasons of its predecessor Ben 10. Normally, I'd complain about getting only four episodes at a time instead of an only-slightly-less-expensive complete season release, but this show serves up so much well-crafted superhero excitement, I don't mind so much.
Fifteen-year-old Ben Tennyson (Yuri Lowenthal, Naruto) is the wearer of the Omnitrix, which allows him to transform into any one of 10 different aliens. Good thing, too, because he and his friends have stumbled onto an alien conspiracy that threatens the whole world. Joining Ben in his struggles are his energy-controlling cousin Gwen (Ashley Johnson, Phenom) and his metal-absorbing pal Kevin (Greg Cipes, Teen Titans).
This episode list emerged from the depths of space:
• "Paradox"
Suddenly the series becomes a Dr. Who pastiche—not that I'm complaining—when Ben and company meet a wayward time-traveling genius do-gooder, and even do a little decade-hopping themselves.
• "Be-Knighted"
Side villains the Forever Knights believe they have developed a weapon to slay an unslayable dragon in their captivity. When the dragon escapes, Ben and friends are enlisted into an uneasy alliance with the knights to help find the monster.
• "Plumber's Helpers"
A pair of alien hunters set their sights on our heroes. But just who are these hunters, what is their real goal, and what have they done with others they have captured?
• "X = Ben + 2"
A kidnapping plot involving an alien princess comes to Earth, with an evil overlord threatening mass destruction. The stakes have never been higher, so Ben decides to turn into the mysterious Alien X for the first time. The results are not what anyone expected.
These days, most, if not all, science fiction fans are all about the realism. If there is any part of any speculative story that does not jibe with existing technology or known laws of physics, then every fan is on the Internet within seconds with cries of "fake!" or "impossible!" or much worse. Me, though? While I'm not against using real science or real tech as part of a story when appropriate, my personal favorite sci-fi tales are the far-out "What if?" variety, in which space is not an empty void populated only with lifeless rocks, but an endless source of mystery and wonder. Ben 10 Alien Force takes place at the heart of this "infinite possibilities" setting, and that's why Alien X is the show's most intriguing creation to date.
With a single wave of its hand, Alien X can alter all the laws of time and space to its whim, basically shaping reality itself into whatever it wants. That's the good news. The bad news is that, upon transforming into Alien X, Ben finds himself somewhere out in space, as part of a triumvirate of heavenly beings, who dictate Alien X's every move. Because the alien is so powerful, every one of its actions must be approved by a vote. Because the other two members cannot agree on anything, it's up to Ben to get them to see eye to eye so that Alien X can jump into action. Once again, Ben is in a position to use his wits to get out of a problem, rather than his various monstrous powers. Keep in mind that while all this is happening, Gwen and Kevin keep the action moving by duking it out with an alien bounty hunter and an army of lizard monsters. Now, none of this is "realistic" sci-fi, I know, but in the wider view of "speculative" sci-fi, it's absolutely brilliant, in that it posits outrageous concepts and ideas. That it does all this with light humor and colorful action makes the story all the better.
Aside from Alien X's big debut, how is the rest of the disc? "Paradox," with its sly take on Dr. Who, is a fun little time travel escapade with an interesting monster design for the antagonist. "Plumber's Helpers" is an action-intensive episode introducing two new characters. Fans already know that this episode lays ground for some huge reveals in the next season. "Be-Knighted" gives another look inside the world of the Forever Knights, the show's main Earth-bound baddies. It's another heroes-and-villains-have-to-work-together-against-a-common-enemy plot, and the dragon's origin is fairly predictable, but dragons are cool, so it's all good.
The main invasion plotline, featuring the sinister Highbreed, barely appears in these four episodes. Sure, not every outing has to be arc-intensive, but the momentum of Ben and company's struggles with the Highbreed slows down after building so much in the previous two volumes.
Video and audio on these releases continue to be stellar, with bright vivid colors and booming sound. The only extra is a short "Villains Database" featurette, which lays out the basics of some of the show's prominent bad guys.
Cartoon Network recently announced that the show is about to be retooled for a third time, allegedly with new episodes taking place with an even older Ben, and possibly having Ben's ten secret identities revealed to the world. Whether that will be a success remains to be seen of course, but for now, know that Ben 10 Alien Force is the best superhero show currently on TV, and this disc contains one of its finest episodes.

Fits my 2008 Mirage Drive. Had to replace the whole right side pedal assembly so got the left side pedal so the pedals matched. Nice to have the padded pedals compared to the old non-padded. Very easy to install. Pop plastic nut cap off the old pedal, remove nut, remove old pedal from shaft, clean shaft (lube if want), install new pedal, nut (if there was a washer install that too), and cap.
Luv the simplistic design of the Hobie mirage drive pedal system...sooo easy to swap out pedals! I don't care for the single strap around my foot which is standard design sooo I modified several pedals that use Reef short strap thong straps...using the thong design allows my foot more freedom w/out the adjustable strap...I just slip my toes in betwixt the thong straps & off I go! I've made several colourful thong pedals this way & change them out to suit my mood...ACK is fast to get my pedals to me when eva I get the urge for new pedal thongs!!!
Maybe I failed to carefully review the product description, but when I order a replacement pedal, I expect the internals (spindle, bearings, etc) to be part of the product. I own a Bike shop and have never ordered pedals and gotten just a platform.
When I first opened the package, I said "Where are the installation instructions?" Then I went ahead and tried what seemed the thing to do. The installation went great and the replaced pedal is working fine.
Easy replacement.

There is something in you that makes my heart skip a beat
Something exciting that my mind can never process
Is it passion? Is it true love? Oh! I cannot tell
All I know it's what I've been looking for all these years
There is something in you that lets me see who I am
I can't imagine I'm liking this other side of me
Is it my purpose? The definition of my life?
All I know it's what I want and where I want to be
There is something in you that pushes me to believe
Something different yet it is the only real thing
Perhaps it's telling me to take a leap of faith?
A chance I'm considering but not willing to take
So YOU are something that I can never comprehend
You give me wings so I could fly and reach for my dream
I wonder what potion or magic do you possess
Maybe I should stop analyzing – just let it be
– January 27, 2017

About Me
Hi I'm Amy, a thirty-something licensed clinical social worker with spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy, a condition caused by trauma to the brain, usually during or shortly after birth. All four of my limbs are affected by this condition, and because of high muscle tone (muscles that are constantly tight and contracted), I struggle to move and control the muscles in my arms and legs. As a result, my limbs are often stiff, and they don't always do what I want them to do. I can walk with a walker, but I utilize a power wheelchair and a service dog for independence and mobility in my daily life.
At the age of 13, I was going in for yet another routine surgery when I had an encounter with the social worker that changed my life. She approached me and asked if I needed to talk to her regarding my upcoming surgery. I politely told her no, and stated that I had been through this before. Then she told me that I could talk to her because she knew what it was like to be me. This woman appeared to have no visible signs of disability, and I can remember thinking to myself, no one knows what it's like to be me.
After that encounter, I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to help other individuals with disabilities and their families who might experience some of the same things that I experienced. I wanted to be able to use my experiences to help them, not because I knew what it was like to be them, but because I knew what it was like to be me as a person with a disability.
When I graduated with honors in May 2006 with my Master's degree in social work. I had hoped that if I became a social worker, I could help people overcome their obstacles and they could, in turn, teach me something new and help me become a better social worker.
While some of my experiences as a social worker helped me accomplish this goal, the truth of the matter is, I have had so many struggles in my journey of trying to help others. As a result, I have yet to find a permanent place in my field. So while I try to find my niche, I am hoping to use my experiences to help others in a different way.
