We all want to achieve a strong body, but there must be a balance between strength and flexibility, and Reformer Pilates is the perfect exercise regime to achieve this. Tight muscles hinder your mobility and can lead to tension, aches, and pain. Flexibility is essential for your overall fitness and vitality. It ensures a greater range of movement in your joints, and will, in turn, mean your joints remain healthy and fare better against normal wear and tear as they age.
Pilates makes the most use of dynamic, rather than static, stretching: this involves taking your body into and out of a stretch repeatedly, in a choreographed movement. It warms up the muscles so that they respond more effectively. As you progress through the exercises in throughout our sessions, you should find your range of movement increasing and your flexibility improving.
Key benefits:
•Your muscles are free from tension, and your movement is unrestricted when you achieve good flexibility.
•Your posture will improve because you will be able to hold your muscles correctly.
•Better blood circulation results from improved flexibility because it helps the muscles to align more effectively. Improved circulation also gives you a boost of energy.
•Joints stay healthy as you age: they resist wear and tear better if they are flexible and move freely.

The Bradley Center announced Thursday that it has selected a vendor for a new, $3.2 million scoreboard that is expected to dramatically improve the experience for sports fans coming to the arena.
The contract was awarded to TS Sports, based in Texas, and Lighthouse Technologies, based in Hong Kong.
The new center-hung scoreboard, which will be ready for the start of the 2010-'11 Milwaukee Bucks season, will have considerably more display space than the current scoreboard, which was installed in 1995. The new board will have 2,662 square feet of space, compared with 947 square feet on the old board.
There will be more pixels as well. The new board will have 3.5 million pixels; the current board has 229,880.
The new board will have 12 high-resolution video panels, including three wrap-around LED marquees. The current board has four standard-resolution panels, and eight low-resolution graphic displays.
'You will see an image that will be eye-popping,' said Steve Costello, president of the Bradley Center. 'It's going to feel like you're 10 feet away from your big-screen television at home. Virtually everything is a display.'
The new board is 29 feet tall, 32 feet wide and weighs approximately 50,000 pounds.
Perhaps the most important feature, and potentially the most lucrative for teams such as the Milwaukee Bucks, Milwaukee Admirals, Marquette University and the Milwaukee Iron, is that the new scoreboard can be customized for each team.
At a Bucks or Marquette basketball game, for instance, statistical information can be tailored to basketball. But the scoreboard can be altered for an Admirals game, providing hockey-related information and video and statistics.
The new board also will provide opportunities for sponsors to tailor their message better than ever before.
TS Sports has developed scoreboard and lighting display systems for venues across the country, including the American Airlines Center in Dallas and on the campus of Ohio State University.
The scoreboard will be paid for through Bradley Center funds. Some of the funding will come from a recently approved $5 million state bonding grant.
Costello said the project is among the larger projects the Bradley Center has undertaken since the building opened in October 1988.
The new board will be the third scoreboard to be installed at the arena.
'This is an important amenity for us,' Costello said.

I always love looking at the places where other people create. I hope that doesn't mean I am nosy. It really means that I am looking for ideas and inspiration. :o)
I thought that it would be fun to take you on a tour of my craft room. In the interest of keeping it real, I did not clean or put away anything before taking these pictures. (The scribbles on the table and school notes on the wall make me itch to clean it.) Yes, I am a bit of a neat freak. I like to say that I am anti-clutter. My sister-in-law calls me a minimalist. My niece says I am OCD.
I usually tidy up along the way while working on a project. The messes my little helpers make only last a day. Maybe two. The only time it gets messy is when it becomes a dumping ground when I am too busy to sew. (It usually means I am too busy to clean it up, too.)
I have some crazy ingrained habits that anyone who sews with me quickly learns. I have to have the garbage can close to the cutting table to immediately use. I have to have my thread catcher right by my sewing machine for snipped threads. (My 10 year old niece thinks it is hilarious, but she humors me when we sew together.)
With that said, welcome to my craft room. This is the view from the door the week I started my blog in November 2013.
I should probably mention that my craft room is located in the basement. It is the second largest bedroom in the house and has two large closets. My husband is so good to me.
I have a funny story about it. When we first finished the basement, I was working with the cub scouts in my ward. They wanted to see what the basement looked like, because we met in my home for our meetings. I took them on a tour of the basement (remember these are eight year old boys). I opened the door and said, "And this is my sewing room." One of the boys said, "Sewing room! My mom has a sewing drawer!" I can still hear exactly how he said it in my mind. Although back then (2005), this is what my sewing room looked like.
Back to November 2013... To the right of the door is my Horn sewing cabinet. You can see a small scrap project next to my Janome 6500 waiting to be sewn into a doll quilt. Behind my machine is an extra table I sometimes use when machine quilting. (My cabinet does have an extension on the back, but when it is up I have a large hole in the corner.)
On the large wall I have hung a queen size flannel sheet with thumb tacks. My thanks go to Amanda Jean of Crazy Mom Quilts for this awesome idea.

Paul Holmes 13 Nov 2006 // 12:00AM GMT
Few companies have been as vilified in recent years as those in the oil and pharmaceutical industries, and now they could face legislative action in addition to harsh criticism as Democrats—following their mid-term election victory—took control of the House of Representatives for the first time in 12 years and eked out a narrow two seat majority in the Senate
For many public relations and lobbying professionals, the Democratic victory presents a new challenge. Many of those holding senior positions in Washington, D.C., have never had to deal with a Congress controlled by Democrats, and some are scrambling to bring on board counselors with ties to the new majority and to understand the issues that are likely to dominate the public policy arena over the two years between now and the presidential election of 2008.
"With a new sheriff in town, many industries and fields can expect greater scrutiny and oversight than they have faced for the last 12 years," says Al Jackson, senior vice president and director of public affairs at Ketchum, who says the pharmaceutical industry and the oil industry are both likely to face real challenges. In addition, "the financial services, lending and credit card business will be under increasing scrutiny for high interest rates, predatory lending and interchange charges passed on to consumers. Executive pay will be questioned and legislation introduced to empower shareholders. And you can expect to see defense contractors grilled, and tobacco executives hauled back up to the Hill."
The Democratic agenda is spelled out in a 32-page booklet called A New Direction for America, which includes six priorities that incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, says will be enacted within the first 100 hours of the new Congress. The Democrats call the six issues on which they plan to focus—real security at home and overseas, better jobs for Americans, college access for all, energy independence, affordable healthcare, and retirement security—their "consensus" agenda because they believe the majority of the American people support their plans and Republicans will have to either get behind them or risk casting unpopular votes.
"This country has spoken loudly and clearly," says Senator Harry Reid, who is expected to be the new Senate majority leader. "There must be a change of direction in Iraq. We have to have results in doing something to make healthcare more affordable and more available. We have to do something to create energy independence."
So while the public's concern over the deteriorating situation in Iraq and Afghanistan was clearly a major factor in last week's results, there are plenty of issues for business executives to worry about.
"While Democrats felt the need in 'Six for 06' to address their traditional disadvantage on national security issues, economic issues are the bread and butter of the Democratic agenda," says a report prepared by BKS&H, the government affairs unit of Burson-Marsteller, which suggests that Democrats will ask a range of questions, including: "How well does an industry or employer meet the critical tests of income, job and pensions security? How does it stand up to gender and ethnic diversity review? Is it creating jobs that pay a 'living' wage and offer good benefits or is it downsizing and off-shoring positions? Is it a responsible corporate citizen?"
Democrats are particularly concerned, BKS&H says, about the growing feeling that America is becoming two economies, and that while share prices are rising and CEO compensation is soaring, ordinary Americans are being left behind.
"The stock market has reached record heights recently, but wages and salaries for the average American have been slow to rebound in this recovery," says the report. "Many experts report a growing gap between the economic haves and have-nots." Some of the more populist rhetoric of the Democratic campaign, on issues such as the minimum wage and free trade, as well as healthcare costs, clearly played to economic fears.
Having said that, while some of the new scrutiny of business could lead to legislation, the fact that most measures will need 60 votes in the Senate means that "much of what will be done on many issues will be about politics, not policy," says Jackson.
Most observers expect the new Congress to take a balanced approach to business issues, rather than pursuing a radical liberal agenda.
"Dems clearly had a breathtakingly broad sweep on Tuesday, but you also have to consider its depth," says Robert Mathias, managing director of the Washington, D.C., operations of Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide. "With few exceptions, races were decided with fairly narrow margins, and they all need to be re-elected in two years. As a result, we will not be seeing any sort of broad, sweeping 'liberal' agenda in the traditional sense. Expect a fairly modest—and moderate—policy agenda going forward with aggressive and loud and highly visual oversight of existing Bush programs and policies including, but not limited to, the war."
Former Democratic Representative Don Bonker, now an executive vice president with public affairs firm APCO Worldwide, agrees. "Democrats will be more vigilant, but not excessive, in dealing with policies affecting business," he says, adding that business leaders should expect "more stringent policies and regulations in consumer safety and environmental areas," and an increase in the minimum wage.
According to Gloria Dittus, president of public affairs consultancy Dittus Communications, which is part of international strategic communications firm Financial Dynamics, "This new class of Democrats knows that this year's winning message of fiscal responsibility and moderation cannot simply be rhetoric: they must deliver concrete results."
So while Democrats are expected to raise the minimum wage, they are also expected to show some support for the business agenda, increasing the research and development tax credit, for example.
"These new Democrats are true believers in their pro-business, pro-family, pro-community messages," she says. "The voters in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana as a group are not particularly liberal. Many are blue-collar, Reagan Democrats who aren't necessarily anti-business, but they do believe the government has an obligation to provide a safety net for their future."
The Democrats are likely to address the concerns of these voters—economic security and basic fairness—first, and most aggressively.
The Minimum Wage
Democrats have made it clear that they would like to raise the federal minimum wage from its current level, $5.15 an hour, to $7.25 or $7.50. Pelosi has pledged to take action on that issue within the first 100 hours on the new Congress, although there could be a battle over whether to index the increase to inflation or include what the GOP calls "compensation for small businesses."
The minimum wage increase is one of the few Democratic priorities likely to attract broad bipartisan support, since it has broad public support. Ballot measures to increase state minimum wages passed in Arizona, Missouri, Montana and elsewhere. That's unlikely to discourage affected industries—retailers such as Wal-Mart, fast food restaurants and small business owners—voicing their opposition.
"Business interests such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Business Roundtable, and the National Federation of Independent Businesses, will likely formally oppose a minimum wage increase on policy grounds and to protect their ability to argue against it next time," says Jackson. "But everyone expects a minimum wage bill to pass and the President is already signaling he would sign it. He will likely want to couple it with something he and Republicans want in order to save face, but expect that to be one of the first bills introduced and passed in January."
Dittus agrees. "A minimum wage increase may be the first agenda item Democrats bring to the floor for action. The Republican controlled house passed a minimum last year, and it's likely that the Democrats will be able to get the 60 votes needed in the Senate to approve such a measure. And the idea is popular with voters. Republicans may feel hard-pressed to oppose the move, especially after President Bush said at his news conference that the minimum wage issue is an area where the administration could find common ground with the Democrats."
With the Democratic victory, two of the strongest critics of the pharmaceutical industry are back in power. Henry Waxman is expected to be chairman of the health subcommittee of the House energy and commerce committee, and Pete Stark will likely chair the health subcommittee of the House ways and means committee. And both are likely to pursue a wide range of measures that could be detrimental to the health of large pharmaceutical companies.
Peter Pitts, who heads the health policy practice at Manning Selvage & Lee, is worried about "a reign of terror" against the pharmaceutical industry.
"I am concerned that, as far as FDA is concerned, we will lose whatever momentum there was towards an agency that was focusing on what [acting commissioner] Andy von Eschenbach calls 'the three Ps of prevention, predictive tools, and the participatory Critical Path' and we will move to a House of Representatives that is focused on payback and partisan politics. And that means hearings. Lots and lots of hearings couched in the word 'oversight.' And that's deleterious and particularly dangerous right now because of PDUFA."
The Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA, was passed in 1993, in response to industry pressure for a faster and more predictable review of new drug applications and involves user fees, paid by pharmaceutical companies, which pay for more staff and thus speed drug approval—and now account for more than 50 percent of the FDA's budget. Since 1993, PDUFA has been renewed three times, but when it expires again on September 30, 2007, and the Democrats could push for big changes.
A recent Institute of Medicine report identified numerous problems at the FDA, claiming that as a result of PDUFA, the FDA's resources are "significantly skewed toward the drug-approval process, hampering the agency's ability to monitor the safety of marketed medications" and pointing to recent cases—Vioxx in the most high-profile—in which approved medicines were recalled because of safety concerns.
The IOM report called for several new initiatives, including new labeling during the first two years after approval to alert patients and healthcare professionals that there may be uncertainties about a product's risks and benefits; a moratorium on direct-to-consumer advertising during a product's first two years on the market; and expanding FDA authority to allow fines and injunctions for non-compliance.
"Those first 100 hours are beginning to sound like a real reign of terror for Big Pharma," says Pitts, who is also concerned about Democratic plans to reform the Medicare drug program, which would put an end to the windfall pharmaceutical and insurance companies enjoyed when the law—which forbids the government from negotiating drug prices with pharmaceutical companies—was enacted by the GOP Congress in 2003.
"The government negotiates big discounts for the prices of drugs for our veterans," says Senator elect Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, one of the Democratic freshmen who ran on a promise to reform the healthcare system. "But the drug companies got Congress to make it illegal to negotiate for lower prices under Medicare."
Indeed, one of the reasons pharmaceutical prices are so much lower in virtually every overseas market is that they are negotiated—some would say fixed—by the governments of those countries. That means that American consumers effectively subsidize those in the rest of the world, but it also means that if the American government negotiated prices, pharmaceutical companies would be forced to increase the cost of drugs for everyone.
"Does anyone really believe that government can negotiate better than private industry—for anything?" Pitts wonders. "One need only look at the VA system to see how government 'negotiating' leads to restricted choice." The VA offers 1,300 drugs on its formulary, compared to 4,300 for the average Medicare Part D plan.
It's no surprise that in the days after the election, Wall Street has pushed drug and insurance stocks lower (Pfizer was down 5.8 percent in the three days after the election, Merck dipped 6.1 percent and HMO stocks were lower by 5.2 percent on average). But even supporters of negotiated Medicare drug prices say the new legislation faces challenges, including a potential presidential veto.
Perhaps a more serious threat stems from Democratic support for allowing the importation of cheaper drugs from other countries, most notably Canada, and expanding access to generic medications.
"Drug re-importation will be hard to stop and it's not clear whether the President would veto it," says Jackson. "It's just too hard to explain or defend."
Mathias anticipates action for two reasons. "First, the new Congress and Democratic chairs will want to do something and second, the 2008 presidential election is now just 727 days away. Both parties see a real and viable path to the White House that will most assuredly involve seniors, rising healthcare costs, and access and affordable to care, including pharmaceuticals."
The Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers of America, meanwhile, has issued a statement from CEO Billy Tauzin, who says: "We believe Congress and the administration should carefully consider the impact that any legislation or regulation might have on pharmaceutical innovation. We support public policies that help promote an environment in which the innovation of new, cutting-edge treatments are valued and encouraged."
The Oil Industry
The combination of soaring prices at the pump and even higher profits—ExxonMobil made more than $10 billion last quarter—have led to a growing American disenchantment with Big Oil.
"Oil companies are swimming in windfall profits and American consumers are sinking," said Senator Dick Durbin last year as he introduced a bill to tax those profits. That bill died in committee, and there seems to be considerable disagreement within Democratic ranks about whether it should be revived during the next session.
John Dingell, the likely chair of the energy and commerce committee, is a Michigan Democrat and traditionally a big supporter of the automotive industry, but his stated priorities include air quality, implementation of the Energy Policy Act (which focuses on encouraging the use of alternative fuel vehicles), and action on climate change. That means the oil industry—and so-called windfall profits—are a likely first target.
"Going after 'tax giveaways' to oil companies at a time of higher energy costs will be popular with many voters," says Dittus. "The policy reality, however, is that expanding domestic exploration and production is key to America's energy security, and these incentives help companies do that. There are plenty of Democrats from energy producing states who recognize the value of the energy industry to the nation's future."
But incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said that ending the $2.8 billion in tax breaks and other incentives given to oil companies in last year's energy bill will be among the six major tasks Democrats plan to tackle in the first 100 hours of the new Congress— possibly using the money to fund new incentives for conservation, renewable fuels and alternative energy technologies—and adds that Democrats will also enact tough laws to stop gasoline price gouging.
That's led to optimism on the part of environmental groups.
"The American people's vision of an energy future that is very different from current policies is the winner, and Big Oil is the big loser," says Gene Karpinski, president of the League of Conservation Voters. But others question how much Democrats will be able to accomplish with a narrow majority and the threat of a presidential veto.
"While there will likely be some discussion and potentially hearings on the environment, I would think company profits will face far more scrutiny," says Jackson. "Global warming is a much bigger deal outside the U.S., but it is not really a major issue for most U.S. voters."
Free Trade
The conventional wisdom is that the majority of those Democrats who captured seats previously held by Republicans are moderates or even social conservatives, but on trade issues the majority is firmly in the protectionist—or economic nationalist—camp, and many of them ran on a promise to take a sterner look at free trade and globalization, both of which flourished under President Clinton.
Senator-elect Sherrod Brown of Ohio (a state that has lost 200,000 manufacturing jobs during the Bush administration) is the author Myths of Free Trade and told voters in one ad: "I'm for an increase in the minimum wage and against trade agreements that cost Ohio jobs," while a voice over explains: "Sherrod Brown stood up to the president of his own party to protect American jobs, fighting against the Mexico and China trade deals that sent countless jobs overseas."
Rep. Charles Rangel, the New York Democrat who will chair the House ways and means committee, has said that the U.S. needs to "be angry as hell and try to protect American industry.... We have to protect American jobs and American manufacturers."
At the very least, the new Congress will mean more discussion of "fair trade" (a term used in Europe to denote fairness to producers in developing countries, but in the U.S. to denote protections for American workers), says Jackon. He anticipates an effort to place some limit on "cheap imports," with discussion around child labor, unreasonably low wages and slave labor, and environmental and worker safety standards in other nations that give competitors an unfair advantage.
"Several victorious Democrats, including conservatives, argue that U.S. manufacturers are being battered unfairly by companies in China and other low-wage countries with weaker environmental and labor protections," says Dittus. "In addition, this new class of Democrats will be seeking to demonstrate its support for rural and rust belt-Americans. Increasingly protectionist trade measures will likely be crafted to demonstrate support for this critical constituency.
"And now that they are in the minority, many Republicans may feel liberated to back some protectionism, depending on their district."
She says the debate is likely to be particularly heated with regard to China, with likely issues including stricter enforcement intellectual-property rights and scrutiny of what critics say is "currency manipulation." At the very least, the new Congress is not likely to extend the President's "fast-track" trade negotiating authority, which expires this summer.
"The Democrats have some genuine concerns regarding trade issues," says Bonker. "Thanks to organized labor, Democrats have turned the corner and are now on a path to protectionism. Pending and future free trade agreements will go nowhere in a Democratic-controlled Congress. There will also be minimal support of U.S. leadership at the World Trade Organization, which is needed to sustain the organization."
But the discussion is unlikely to break down exclusively along party lines.
"Trade is no longer a Democrat versus Republican issue," says Jackson. "But it is safe to say that Democrats are generally more protectionist than Republicans, and that is especially true as we head into a Presidential election race when the power and importance of U.S. labor unions—because of their leading role in Democratic presidential primaries—is at its highest.'
Good News?
If the oil and pharmaceutical industries have reason to be concerned and if Democratic policies on the minimum wage and trade and more likely to please workers than their bosses, there are some areas where there's cause for corporate optimism.
One issue on which there appears to be some measure of consensus is the reform of the Sarbanes-Oxley laws, passed in the wake of the Enron and Worldcom scandals, but widely criticized for imposing a heavy reporting burden on corporations.
Republican Representative Michael Oxley and Democratic Senator Paul Sarbanes both chose not to stand for re-election in 2006, and Barney Frank, incoming chair of the financial services committee has said that Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley—which requires companies to disclose more information about their internal financial control and outside auditors to issue opinions on those controls—"as administered has become too burdensome."
More controversially, though, Frank could revive a stalled bill that would give shareholders a vote on executive compensation.
The technology industry, which enjoyed amazing growth during the Clinton years, has relatively little to fear from a Democratic Congress, observers say. Pelosi has made it clear that she would like to provide Americans with speedier and cheaper broadband Internet access, and industry leaders are also hopeful that Democrats will support renewal of the research and development tax credit, and an increased supply of visas for skilled foreign workers, as well as more funds for scientific research.
Other potential beneficiaries include companies in the homeland security sector, which could benefit from Democratic efforts to step up port security and implement other recommendations of the….
Lobbying Reform
After the Iraq war, the issue that probably turned more voters against Republican rule than any others was the widespread corruption that has become apparent over the past couple of years. Three-fourths of voters told exit polls the scandals and corruption in the nation's capital—which presumably encompasses a range of issues from the Jack Abramoff influence peddling scandal to the indictment of House majority leader Tom DeLay to the solicitation of young boys by high-profile members of the religious right—were very or extremely important to them. And those voters tended to lean strongly Democratic in this election.
"Corruption in government and high profile and inappropriate behavior by elected officials were cited in exit polls as important factors in motivating voters to cast their ballots against a number of Republican incumbents," says BSKH, which cites a recent study by U.S. News & World Report and the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, which asked respondents to quantify their trust in major institutions. State and local governments, Congress, and the executive branch were at the bottom of the list.
"All of this has contributed to a sour public mood and has collectively broadened public sentiment for a more effective, interventionist government role in protecting their interests," says the government relations firm.
"Corruption comes out as the number one issue at exit polls, so expect to see a lot of emphasis on good government, anti-corruption measures," says Mathias. "Marry the new Congress with [former state attorney general Eliot] Spitzer as the governor of New York and a very interesting dynamic comes into play. Voters—and consumers—are weary of the 'quick cheat,' the perception that their congressman or their CEO can and does get away with things that they cannot, that he or she is ethically challenged and that in many cases just plain and obviously wrong."
Democrats were generally unhappy with the weak reforms proposed—but never passed, due to protracted wrangling between the House and the Senate—in the wake of the Abramoff scandal, and have offered a raft of proposals: banning gifts and travel paid for by lobbyists; doubling (to two years) the time that lawmakers and senior officials are barred from lobbying their former offices; forcing lawmakers to disclose when they are negotiating for private sector jobs; and imposing new transparency requirements on lobbyists.
Ross Eisenbrey, vice president and policy director for the Economic Policy Institute, says that if incoming Speaker Pelosi of California tackles corruption as she promised, "You could see a major change in the way corruption is treated in Washington, because the ability to influence members would be diminished substantially."
Lobbyists, meanwhile, see a whiff of hypocrisy in the efforts to cast them as villains. "Let's not place the entire blame on lobbyists, so you can have a press conference, and then call us the next day and ask for campaign contributions," says Paul Miller, president of the American League of Lobbyists. "There are just as many Democratic lobbyists as Republican lobbyists."
Public relations and public affairs professionals, meanwhile, are broadly optimistic about the implications of the Democratic victory for their own outlook.
"With gavel in hand, there's no question House and Senate Democrats are going to use the committee process to focus on industries they believe have had an easy time during one-party rule," says Rob Rehg, president of the Washington, D.C., office of Edelman. "It's anybody's guess what will make it to the president's desk, but at a minimum we're guaranteed a completely new political dialogue.
"From a PR standpoint, it's important that companies don't take their eye off their long term communications goals. They need to continue to be proactive with their positive messages at the same time they are dealing with the negative fallout resulting from an energized, adversarial Congress. The Democrats running the oversight committees know what they're doing. They know how to use the press and push the right buttons to get the maximum play with the public.
"The smart corporate public relations professionals are going to spend the next 60 days huddling with their Washington people and their D.C. trade associations to make sure they've got a game plan."
The very fact that there's a divided government means that public relations activity will be more necessary than ever.
"The media loves conflict and, unlike the existing congress where not much of anything really happened other than the occasional scandal, the next congress will be full of conflict, across the aisle and with the White House," says Ogilvy's Mathias. "So there should be more and easier opportunities for business to insert its voice into debates through media coverage."
The bottom line, according to Mathias: "Change is good for our business. New committee chairs, new issues being advocated and attacked, new constituencies in play, new audiences to be reached. So, for our business, next year should be healthy."

My updates here will be fewer and further between until the dust clears in November. Atlanta Celebrates Photography (my great day job) is in high gear through the end of October, and I have two shows to print and install in the next two months. Each will be a bit more than a traditional gallery show — with prints, sound, projection(s) and secret sauce.
Friends and like-minded fine art photographers here in Atlanta have gotten together and set-up our own color processing lab (I know, right?) and I spent most of the weekend getting acquainted with the Kreonite beast, through which I've been making archival, analog C-prints for "So Help Me". I'll write about analog prints another time — both the why and what for. Color me pixelated.
For previews of my two shows, please see The Jena Project, and again, "So Help Me". Both are the result of efforts over the past year and half, since moving to the South, and I'm eager to see them up-close, and to be able to share them with folks, in their final (offline) form.
If you're at the Convention in Denver next week, give a holler, or if you pass through ATL between now and early November, ping me (address up top on the right). At the least, I can recommend a good thing (or 2) to see.
'Til then…

Become A Cell Phone Master With These Top Tips - 21 May 2015 07:16
[[html]]We have had cell phones for quite some time now, and it seems as if they are here to stay. These devices are quite handy, and most everyone owns one these days. If you need to buy one, this article can give you some great tips.

Be sure to restart your cellphone here and there to dispose of stored program memory from things like Facebook and Twitter. When this is done every couple of days, your phone will work at its peak performance level more consistently.

If your phone gets dropped into water, do not panic and think that it is ruined. The best thing you could do is to take the battery out and place your phone into a bowl that has dry rice. Doing so soaks up excess moisture that may have seeped into your smartphone.

When you're using an LTE or 4G signal, be careful with videos. Your data allowance won't be very high. Video can use up your allowance and you could be charged for it. When you're going over a lot, consider a bigger plan.

You need not be the first on your block to have the newest phone. It is not always worthwhile. Manufacturers introduce new phones frequently, but the changes are often quite small. Wait a couple of weeks and check out what other people think about their purchase before you make a choice to purchase one. Quite often, you really do not.

Be aware of extended warranties. Generally, these added costs are nothing more than that. Odds are good that if your cell phone is going to break down then it will happen while your original manufacturers warranty is still in operation. You also would likely upgrade a new phone before the extended warranty ends, so some of the bought time is just wasted.

Your phone runs slower as it ages. As time passes, simple things like updating apps could become cumbersome. You may have to decide. You can either suffer with what you've got or buy a brand new model.

Prior to purchasing a smartphone, be sure it is what you need. They cost quite a bit, but they also offer many different features. The main issue is, a lot of people just require a phone that's basic to make their phone calls. A smartphone will cost you a lot of money upfront. So, it might not prove your wisest course of action if you only use phones to talk.

If you only require a cell phone for voice communications, do not buy a smartphone. Everyone has one, but most people are paying for features they may not need. Smartphones are considerably more expensive than regular cell phones, so save money and get a standard cell phone if all you need it for is talking.

Charge your phone before the battery expires. A cell phone battery is made to frequently get recharged. They don't hold their charge well if you allow them to die on a regular basis. Thus, see if you can charge the battery much earlier in the process.

Make sure your phone is protected. Not taking care of it can mean quite the expensive fix or replacement. Get a screen protector that works good so the screen doesn't get scratched. In addition to a scree protector, invest in a quality case that keeps the phone safe from accidental drops and daily use.

Start using the calendar on your cell phone. You will have the ability to schedule your entire day by using continue reading here it. You can receive alerts in advance of your events so being prepared becomes simple. This will save you a lot of time and effort.

If you find yourself without signal in specific area, turn your phone off or switch to flight mode. The harder it searches for a signal, the more battery power it will use. When your signal should be good, you can turn it back on.

Cell phone plans for families don't just have to be for those that are related. A lot of people miss out on this and don't get the discounts. For example, you could go in on a plan with your roommate. Proof of family membership is not requested or confirmed.

If you've got a newer phone, you may not require a screen protector. Many phones offer a layer of protection against scratches. Another layer could make the screen blurry or not work right. They can also develop air bubbles or their own scratches.

When you can, try using your phone's Wi-Fi. This makes it so you don't use as much of your data allowance. Get a phone app that sniffs out local Wi-Fi hotspots. If it is possible, make a habit of working these locations into your daily routine and the errands you do around town. Lots of restaurants offer their patrons this service.

When you buy a new cellphone, be sure it's only got options you need. A lot of the newer cell phones contain a lot of functions people just don't use. If you only want a phone to talk on, you ought not spend money for features you are unlikely to use.

Start texting regularly. If you have little to say, just type it to the person you wish to speak to. The phone will emit a bit more radiation when you are using it for a call. Text you may want to read this one messaging, then, is a win win situation.

When you own a cellular phone, you can accomplish a lot. You might not even know the full capabilities of the phone. This article can help to facilitate the process. This is vital because it can be costly to replace them.[[/html]] - Comments: 0

You could be forgiven for thinking local government is a bit of a joke.
In 2013 Auckland had the worst voter turnout in the whole country - just 35 percent of people voted, 89 percent of them were over 70.
But the influence of local councils is wide-ranging, and important.
They determine things like:
That's kind of a big deal.
Aucklanders also vote for local board members - they make decisions affecting your neighbourhood and pay for things like community events and local parks.
Council spending is paid for by your rates money - well that's if you're lucky enough to own a home. Did we mention the council has some influence in this too?
Regardless, it's the city you live in so you should vote for someone who represents your views.

Preparing your business for the Winter and how you can get extra bookings in halls.
1) Firstly, don't forget to CLAIM your free "Google My Business" Listing so that Google puts you at the top of the page for your local area.
See: http://bit.ly/1qfjE5z This will help your customers find you more easily, when they search Google.
Also, don't forget to CLAIM your FREE business listings on 25 UK online business directories. They all provide Google backlinks for free.
25 UK Business Directories That Provide Google Backlinks – For Free
or click on: http://bitly.com/1aePP38
2) Contact the caretakers of your local community halls etc. and remind them that you provide inflatables for indoors.
3) Make sure that your inflatables are 100% dry before you store them away for the winter. Perhaps consider hiring a warm hall to inflate them in order to dry them out. This could have a double whammy benefit as it will also enable you to connect with the Caretaker who can then see your inflatables in the flesh.
4) As mentioned last week, as we get firmly into the off-peak season don't forget to sprinkle talcum powder inside your inflatables if you plan to store them for the winter, but only apply to a completely dry unit! This helps to keep mould away and keeps the material fresh and smelling nice. It is essential that your inflatables are stored completely dry to prevent the build-up of mould and any unsightly rainwater stains which can become permanent :-((
5) Consider adding a 20% off all indoor hires discount voucher to your website. Make it very prominent.
6) Contact all the customers who used you last winter and ask them if they want to use your services again.
7) Winter-Proof your vans. E.g. Winter tyres, checking and topping up the anti-freeze etc.
8) Try to heavily promote your indoor hire products to your customers e.g. didi cars www.didicar.co.uk as mentioned earlier this month.
9) Look carefully at your website. Where are you positioned in Google? Can you add more content which should help push you up the rankings. Are you on the BIHA / Google Map? http://bit.ly/1uDQ0Ku
Does your website create a "wow factor" when your prospective customers land on it?
10) Don't forget that you have thousands of pounds worth of high-tech camera equipment and microphone built right inside your iPhone or other smart phone.
Use it to take video of your inflatables in action, upload to YouTube, and then post this video on your website, Facebook Page, Twitter Page or your blog.
I was at a Pink Floyd Tribute live gig last night and took the following video using my iPhone 5.
Uploading videos of your inflatables in action to YouTube (via your smart phone) takes about TWO minutes once you have registered for a free YouTube account.

We all love a good BBQ, but this one is no ordinary BBQ. It's a Rack of Lamb with Ginger and Rosemary. Done correctly, this is so tender and it's pretty easy to marinade – it's a BBQ fit for royalty!
Ginger is really good for you, and so is rosemary. My neighbours always comment on the lovely aroma drifting over the fence, and I adore it too, especially with a glass of something in my hand.
I make the most of the weather here, where I live, but sometimes the British weather can get in the way of good outdoor eating, and that's a great shame as I love nothing better than eating out in my beautiful garden – it seems like as soon as I plan a BBQ with friends it starts pouring with rain. So for that reason, as soonas we have a bit of good sunshine, I am out there.
A good tip for shopping and cooking is if you see a good deal on some meat or veg, buy as much as you can afford, prepare it for various dishes and freeze it. This is what I often do with meat, take it home, marinade it ready for a nice BBQ, then freeze it. This way, you are always ready for the sun when it decides to surprise you. Quite often, the best way to marinade meat is to marinade it then freeze it.
This way you get a not just tender meat but full of flavour too. As long you label the bag and store them separately from your normal meat, or you will be sorry when you want to defrost some for your soup!
I suggest you serve this with my Patates Spastes – Potatoes with Wine.
Let see how to BBQ:

If you turn the meat too often, it will stew. So for things like cutlets and steaks, you only need to turn them when they are well sealed.
Make sure your Grill is very hot or your meat will stick.

Budget Deal Reached—Disaster Averted?
President Obama announced on television Sunday, July 31st, just two days before the deadline, that the Democrat and Republican leaders have agreed on a plan allowing millions of people to breathe a sigh of relief. Now the senior citizens, the veterans, and anyone else who receives a check and benefits from the government know that they will get their dues in August. They do not have to worry if the bills are going to be paid, if there is going to be food on the table, and if they are going to be homeless or not. Of course, the budget deal doesn't appear to be helping the stock markets any today, so you're 401k's will continue to look dismal.
This announcement that the lawmakers have reached a plan to raise the debt ceiling comes months after intense negotiations behind closed doors. The details that are available at this time state that the plan would slow government spending over the next decade by two to three trillion dollars. It would also give the United States enough borrowing room so there would not need to be another vote until the year of 2013. The lawmakers have figured out how to cut one trillion dollars immediately. The rest will be handled by a bipartisan committee of twelve lawmakers from both chambers. Congress will then vote on the cuts that they recommend.
The plan will also require a vote from both chambers on an amendment to the Constitution. This amendment will require the federal government to balance the budget every year. It is not the deal President Obama preferred but it is a deal that is going to keep the United States from defaulting and allow the United States to pay their bills.
