Black coloration Affiliation could be a distinctive Ivy College or university, search faculty at the side of Providence Rhode Situation. The online business college affords programs in finance, worldwide enterprise, administration of expertise and innovation, marketing and provide chain management. With physics, it would be troublesome to do just online programs because the scholars need to conduct experiments to watch for themselves the consequences and see theories in motion. Usa Information And World Report rated Rochester Institute of Technological know-how #8 in Regional Schools (To the north) within the 2015 model of Greatest Educational amenities. A variety of universities have come up with on-line courses in nursing to satisfy the excessive demand for nursing professionals.
Such college students usually can't faucet into full-time on-line faculties for that motive, and digital faculty providers acknowledge that their model of education works best, notably within the lower grades, when an adult is current to assist.

If you're a working professional or a homemaker and you can't really compromise along with your current engagements then it doesn't imply that it's a must to kill your instructional ambitions any longer. Also, I want to point out that UOP doesn't only present on-line courses, additionally they present on-site courses that present that wanted group publicity.
Being an internet scholar would let me maintain more of what I earn, as an alternative of giving it again in studying price and interest on the borrowed financing of research expenses. Online message boards, peer editing, and e mail are completely suitable technique of communication and interplay. But online whiteboards are horrible for drawing graphs and writing equations on the fly.

Be careful what tattoo you get, lest you end up like Bree Davies, who ended up accidentally affiliating herself with a gang when she got the initials R.H. tattooed on her (it stands for "Ratchet Ho") -- meaning you might want to reconsider that flaming skull with the "Bandido 4 Life" inscription on it. Luckily for Bree, though, the gang in question is unlikely to show up an her house and demand that she remove said tattoo with a hot knife -- also, the White Girl Mob lays down some sick beatz. Reader Party Rat knows what up.

Moving, even if you're just moving across town, is stressful, expensive, and exhausting. Many people try to save money and hassle by hiring their friends to help them move. This is a bad idea for several reasons. Chiefly, your friends are not reliable movers. They do not have the skills to move heavy or awkward items efficiently without hurting themselves or the furniture. Also, they are not as quick or as efficient as professionals, which will make your move last even longer. Finally, they are not insured. If something gets broken, you will be the one on the hook for paying for repairs.
Because your friends are a poor source of labour, you should hire professionals. You shouldn't hire just anyone who claims to be a professional, though. There are many people with box trucks who claim to be professional movers. You're trusting your belongings and your time to a company, and you should choose one that you can trust.
Trustworthy removal companies in Perth hire employees who have been verified by the police. When you are looking for removalists, look for a company that runs background checks on its employees. You are going to be trusting your belongings, your medicine cabinet, and your breakable items to these professionals. A police-verified background check ensures that you are able to trust the men who will have access to your things.
You should be able to set an appointment for your move. Setting an appointment is good for you and it's good for the removalists. For you, an appointment is good because you can be sure of when you will be moving. If you have to take time off work or find someone to watch your kids, the certainty of an appointment is critical. Also, an appointment allows you to schedule your move for a time for which you might not have to take off from work or otherwise inconvenience yourself. You will be able to prepare for your move diligently. Schedule your move as soon as possible so that you have a lot of time to prepare. Furthermore, an appointment is good for the removalists because it allows them to better schedule their requirements. They can assign the proper number of employees to each day and each job.
You should hire removalists who have experience as well. Moving is often thought of as a matter of brute strength but, in reality, it involves a lot of skill. You have to know how to pick up and move the heavy or awkward items in a certain way so that you don't hurt yourself or harm the items. Experienced removalists know how to do this. Furthermore, a company that has been around for a while is more reliable.
Companies rely on good reviews and repeat customers to stay afloat. A business would never get repeat customers and good reviews if it was providing a low-quality service. Therefore, if a business has been around for a few years, you can assume that they are probably providing a decent quality of service.

ETCO Homes announced today the grand opening of its newest community, 460 Palm, centrally located in Beverly Hills, California. The 35-unit community features two buildings that house single-level condominiums and penthouses ranging in size from 1,985 to 3,643 square feet.

With seven floor plan options to choose from offering two to four-bedrooms and two-and-a-half to four-and-a-half bathrooms, pricing ranges from the mid $2-millions and up to $5 million for penthouse units. Due to presales prior to the grand opening, more than 50 percent of the units have already been sold. The public is invited to the unveiling of the models on September 26 and September 27.
"We are extremely excited about 460 Palm because it brings luxury condominiums to an area where there are very few of its kind available for sale," said Bob Etebar, Principal and Chief Operating Officer for ETCO Homes. "460 Palm caters to homeowners looking for a luxurious lifestyle in the heart of Beverly Hills."
Designed by Greg Bucilla & Associates (GBA) with interiors appointed by Design Line Interiors, residences at 460 Palm offer quality finishes and open floor plans. Designer-selected carpeting in bedrooms complements hardwood flooring in kitchens, dining and living areas. Oversized verandas, floor-to-ceiling windows and multi-paneled glass sliding doors allow for beautiful views and indoor-outdoor living. Fully equipped with Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, kitchens include premium Caesarstone quartz countertops and kitchen islands, and frameless European style cabinetry. Residents can enjoy luxurious soaking tubs in master baths as well as gorgeous porcelain tiles or Caesarstone slab in showers. Select residences also have direct elevator access.
"460 Palm is strategically located within steps of the most desirable retail and restaurant destinations in the world," said Etebar. "Contemporary design breathes life into exclusive condominium living with hand-selected designer appointments and inviting indoor and outdoor living spaces. This marriage of elegance with white-glove service presents a unique opportunity for homeownership that not only appeals to local buyers, but also a large number of East Coast and international buyers."
460 Palm also offers well thought-out amenities and services for an opulent lifestyle including an attended lobby with doorman service, a state-of-the-art surveillance system, a fully equipped fitness center and a beautifully appointed lounge. Each penthouse unit has a private rooftop terrace with direct elevator access, spa and built-in barbeque, and some with stunning city and mountain views. Additional building amenities include lush landscaping and convenient subterranean parking with up to three parking spots.
Set within the desirable 90210 zip code, 460 Palm is located on North Palm Drive, a truly quintessential, tree-lined Beverly Hills street. It's close to the world's most prestigious restaurants and shopping destinations, as well as unparalleled public and private schools.

You are probably aware that the US markets are off to their worst start in recorded history. However many media commentators are bear market deniers and believe that there isn't a bear market at all and stocks will go up forever. If there is a correction, deniers believe that the Fed will just restart their quantitative easing programs and stocks will continue their ascent to infinity.I'm sorry to tell you that if you look at the data, the global financial markets are already in a deep bear market and their central banks have been ineffective in printing themselves out of recession. The US is being pulled down by international forces beyond our control and our economy is likely headed for recession in 2016. Let's take a quick look around to see the carnage.
First there are commodities which have been in a massive bear market since 2011. The oil collapse just pushed it down further as the CRB commodity index is down over 50% since 2011 and is showing no signs of picking up.
International markets all in bear market territory
Next we move to the international markets. First up is our favorite brother, the United Kingdom, which topped out in the spring of 2015.
Next we move to the biggest country in the Euro zone, Germany.
The European markets have declined 20%+ since the start of their latest round of quantitative easing that is printing over 60 billion euros per month. This is not a good sign.
Next we move to the Far East. China is down over 40% and even the Kamikaze Japanese are off over 20%. The Bank of Japan is buying over 80 trillion yen in assets (including stocks) per year
US being held up by mega-caps
The US major market indices like the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average aren't in bear market territory yet because they are being held up by the defensive shift into megacap names like Google, General Electric, Amazon and Facebook. If you look under the hood of the US markets, the small caps are well into bear market territory and midcaps are close behind.
The S&P 500 is trying to stay out of bear market territory but it seems inevitable that it will join the rest of the global financial markets in a downdraft. If the S&P falls 20% from its all-time highs, it would fall to 1700. That is at a minimum.
Allianz Chief Economic Adviser Mohamed El-Erian recently warned that central banks are out of ammo and growth remains slow. He said, "We have fewer, if any, spare tries. And the road is getting really bumpy. I'm not sure I want to be in that car." He advised investors to hold 20-25 percent in cash. "You need the optionality of that cash gives you."

Trees and Apples: Anxiety, Children, and Parents
Anxiety and stress are just part of life. From our earliest ancestors, who were probably pretty stressed out if a day's hunting had come up unsuccessful, to us large-brained humans worrying about whether we'll make friends on the first day of school or whether our children are getting enough sleep, there seems to be a lot to worry about. For some problems, however, the solutions are surprisingly easy. By observing and listening to our children and their anxieties, we can often learn a lot about our own and about ourselves.
Tune in to find solutions
We all come into the world with certain predilections, and sometimes we just need to hone in on what it is that makes our kids anxious. It seems obvious when you read it, but it's not always easy to do in real life. My son, for example, is a natural rule-follower and hates being late. It makes him anxious to be late, even if he's going somewhere he doesn't particularly want to go. I, on the other hand, am extremely punctual, which is to say I often arrive by the skin of my teeth at the appointed hour or a minute or two late but rarely a minute sooner (except the airport).
One day, after rushing again to get to school on time, I – somehow for the first time – really got that it caused my son stress to always beat the bell by mere moments. And I realised that I was the responsible party. After that day, I did my best to make sure we left earlier. Now if I know ahead of time that we won't get to sports practice by 4, for example, I let him know early in the day so he can absorb the idea. He still isn't happy about it, but at least we aren't left breathlessly running and stressed out.
A friend's daughter is made very anxious by mess and disorder (we should all be so lucky to have such a child). She would almost rather put her toys away than play with them and her own name labels would be a dream gift. Her little sister, on the other hand, is a graduate-level mess-maker who loves nothing better than to follow big sister around and play with her things.
The parents aren't the micromanaging types, but they needed to set out acceptable actions, time limits, and behaviour expectations for the younger one. In doing so, they haven't exactly waved a magic wand, but they have shown the older girl that they care about her anxiety and want to help her solve it, while also communicating that she needs to learn patience and to share time and toys with her little sister – and that the world won't end if something ends up in the wrong box.

The day is finally here! I write this post at 7:15 am on Tuesday, February 7 and I have a feeling some of you are just rounding third and heading for home in your first frantic read. Just as I know there are many others who cleared this as a holiday from work to read in peace. And then there are the strong and patient readers who have many different reasons to wait a little while longer.
However you approach reading an In Death book, I hope you enjoyed it. IMO, Echoes is a lot of case and a really interesting one. What did you think? Did you find any of the things I mentioned in the teasers?
This is the safe space to discuss any and all of Echoes in Death. And to forestall the inevitable question that follows — usually with a wink or smiley face but I know you sincerely mean it — Secrets in Death will be out on September 5.

Giovanna Fletcher admits she and husband Tom have no time for romance and hits out against the 'mummy shamers'
The mum-of-two opens up about date nights being ruined by vomiting children
GIOVANNA Fletcher has laughed off the idea that she and husband Tom have time for romance in their marriage asking, "What even is that?"
The mum-of-two who is married to the McFly frontman admitted that sons Buzz, two, and Buddy, eight months, keep them far too busy for any romantic endeavours.
"I have no time for romance! What is that?" the 31-year-old asked The Mirror.
"We tried to go out for our anniversary at the weekend, we've been together as adults for 13 years and Buzz threw up everywhere, so date night cancelled, we had to go home.
"We are so busy at the moment, it's like through the night [with their youngest], and then get up with the kids at 7am, work, be with the kids, and then work again when they go to sleep until midnight.
"We're on a rota system at the moment, it will calm down in the next two weeks."
Giovanna who married childhood sweetheart Tom in 2012 and is releasing baby book Happy Mum, Happy Baby next year, revealed that she always feels "judged" by the mummy shamers.
"You always feel like you're doing it wrong, you always feel judged. You think there's something wrong with you and your baby and question everything, but we should be listening to our instincts really.
"I'm working on my mum book, it's a lot easier to write because I'm writing about myself," she told us. "It's my account of motherhood today, it's not a tip or advice book.
"I think you've got to take it with a pinch of salt, it's you and your baby, you know you're pouring a ridiculous amount of love into them, and you know what you're doing.
"Every child and every parent is different, you just have to find what works for you."

Churrasco (barbecue in Portuguese) has its roots from the early 1800's when cattle-herding cowboys, or "gauchos" in the Pampas of southern Brazil would gather after butchering a cow to cook large portions of meat over a wood burning fire in the open field. The meat was seasoned simply with coarse salt and slow-cooked in its own juices. Then, small slices were passed around until everyone was full, a tradition that led to "rodizio", a dining style of continuous service.
At Churrasco, we've kept the gaucho tradition alive. Cuts of meat, seasoned with sea salt, are grilled over an open flame and served as in centuries of old, preserving the natural, rich flavor of each tender cut.
ENJOY FOOD, REDUCE WASTE. Churrasco is a sustainable restaurant.

A list of embarrasing screw-ups I tend to waste time on (repeatedly) while writing OpenGL based rendering code. The list will surely grow as I continue working on Twiggy :P
This is generally stuff which doesn't show up with glGetError() of course.
Sampling a texture just returns black pixels in the fragment shader:
Most likely the texture is incomplete because the texture sampler states GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER hadn't been setup yet, or the FILTER states expects mipmaps but the texture has none.
Also on some platforms / drivers it is more efficient to setup those states before calling glTexImage2D().
Clearing a render target doesn't work as expected (eg the color buffer is cleared, but the depth buffer isn't):
glClear() is affected by the state of glColorMask(), glDepthMask(), and glStencilMask(). If glDepthMask() is set to GL_FALSE, the depth buffer won't be cleared even though glClear() is called with the GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT set.

You cannot legislate equal rights. The moment you give rights to one group, you take rights away from another group. Equality is not something we have to fight over or vote for. We were all born equal with the equal right to become unequal, that's how life works. If you don't feel equal, that is no one's fault but your own. No President determines our value or worth, only we can do that.

There is nothing like admiring the look of your brand new carpet flooring. However, dirt and debris can quickly put a damper on your new carpet. Use the following tips to maintain your carpet flooring and keep it looking beautiful for years to come.
Start With The Entrances
The first step to maintaining your carpet is to place doormats at every entrance of your home. You want to use both indoor and outdoor mats to protect your carpet. Another option is to make it a rule to remove shoes before entering your home.
Layer of Protection
Use a carpet protector spray to keep your carpet safe from residues, spills and debris. You want to apply the protector on a regular basis to keep your carpet from wearing down. The protector should also be applied right after a professional carpet cleaning.
Vacuum Regularly
Vacuum your carpet on a regular basis to keep dust, dirt and debris from building up. The high-traffic areas should be vacuumed two to three times a week. You can vacuum the areas with less traffic just once a week.
Remove Stains
It is important to remove spots and stains immediately to keep them from settling into your carpet. Use a spoon or knife to gently remove solid food before working on the stain itself. You want to use a cleaner that is designed for your type of carpet.
Deep Cleaning
You should perform a deep cleaning in all high-traffic areas every 12 to 18 months. This removes any dust and debris you may have missed during your regular cleaning sessions. Another option is to hire a professional cleaning service to deep clean your carpet.
Rotate Your Furniture
When you rotate your furniture every few years, you are sure to find dents in your carpet. It is best to rotate your furniture every few months to protect your carpet from permanent damage. You can also place area rugs on your carpet to hide any dents from heavy furniture.
If you are looking to change the vibe in your home, contact a carpet installation Lewisville company such as Design Floors.

If I had more time, I would write a bit more, but I have to get some sleep before the Crit, which will last from 8:30am to 5pm. I might rearrange them yet.
Sandra Doore
My friend and fellow artist, Cam Reid, is curating a show titled, Human Body: Dependence on the Physical, which opened tonight. While there were some very interesting pieces, the work that had the greatest impact on me was by Sandra Doore. After looking at Quotidien Daydream and taking note of my thoughts and feelings, I read her statement. I felt and thought the things she had intended, or at least she pointed me in the direction where they were lying. Rather than touch the piece, I thought about doing something else to it, which wouldn't be suitable in a public gallery. Need I say more?

Dr. Gaddis at Indian Springs Animal Clinic is one of just over 150 board-certified veterinary dental specialists in the United States and the only board-certified veterinary dentist in the state of Alabama. The American Veterinary Dental College sets rigorous standards and criteria prior to certification and Dr. Gaddis is pleased to have completed this process to earn the title of Diplomate of the American Veterinary Dental College.
Proper oral hygiene is one of the foundations of the overall health of any pet, and the primary reason Dr. Gaddis invested the time and additional education required of a board-certified dental specialist.
Oral hygiene should become a priority from the time your pet is a puppy or kitten. Studies show that by the age of three, 80% of untreated pets exhibit signs of periodontal disease. Good oral hygiene begins at home, and Dr. Gaddis and his knowledgeable staff can show you how to brush your furry family member's teeth at home and recommend food that is beneficial for your pet's teeth as well. Regular dental visits should begin as young as one year of age, as tartar and bacteria begin to accumulate in the mouth of your pet at this time.
Periodontal disease originates as bacteria from food begins to settle and harden, and form what is known as plaque on a pet's teeth. Without proper care, these plaque begin to harden and form tartar in your pet's mouth. Left untreated or cleaned, these bacteria begin to irritate the gums and cause decay of the teeth. Your pet continues to swallow saliva containing these bacteria, and ultimately organ damage can occur. Heart disease, kidney failure and liver issues can be associated with periodontal disease in an animal.
These are not the only signs of dental disease in pets, however. The best way to battle dental disease is prevention. Yearly visits to a veterinarian, cleaning and polishing, and home dental care can all improve the quality of your pet's oral and overall health.
Indian Springs Animal Clinic is especially equipped to handle to periodontal needs of your pet. As mentioned above, Dr. Gaddis is the only board-certified veterinary dentist in the state of Alabama. Additionally, our clinic has the most advanced digital dental x-ray system available, allowing Dr. Gaddis to make accurate assessments and begin treatment right away. Our dental suite includes state-of-the-art cleaning and polishing equipment, and ready to provide excellent dental care for your pet.
Remember that prevention is almost always less expensive and more effective than treatment, and this is especially true when it comes to periodontal disease in pets. Good oral hygiene begins at home with proper nutrition and home care and is complimented with yearly veterinary visits and professional cleaning and polishing as needed. Dr. Gaddis and his team have had many years of successful prevention and treatment of dental disease in pets, and they will bring this experience and standard of care to your pet as well. Whether your pet is a puppy or kitten, or a senior who has never had a dental cleaning, schedule their appointment with Indian Springs Animal Clinic today.

Dine Out or Eat In
In the nine years that I've been writing this blog I've probably talked more about food than anything other subject. That's partly because food and water are the absolute basic requirements for life. It's also because we grow so much of ours. And finally, it's because I just do not understand the mindset of those who are willing to waste so much money by not cooking – their mantra is always "Dine Out." I ran across a couple of articles recently that compared the cost of cooking at home to eating out. The figures are interesting, but there are a couple of sub-threads as well.
Cheapism compared a chicken dinner at home to those of four top national chains. The dinner included a quarter of a chicken, a potato, a cup of green beans, and ear of corn and other items like herbs, oil and garlic. Dining out cost $13.41 plus tip, for a total of $16 per person. Total cost for the same meal at home: $6.41. So, what's interesting (aside from the significant difference in price)? Leftovers! For a start, unless you're feeding a hungry teen, who could probably eat the whole chicken and all its sides, most people aren't going to eat a full quarter of a chicken. Even if they do, there will still be enough meat on the bones to turn that carcass into chicken soup. This is true of many home-cooked foods. Roast beef with baked potatoes can become hash a couple of days later. Leftover hot dogs can be sliced into macaroni and cheese. Stale bread is resurrected as panera or French toast.
The second sub-thread has to do with debt. As of September 2019, a study showed the average American carried $29,800 in debt. This includes mortgages, credit cards (with one third of American adults paying 15% or more in annual interest), autos and education loans. When it comes to monthly income, more than 34% of monthly income for adults is used to pay down debt. At the same time, the average household spends $3,008 a year to dine out. Lunch alone, at an average cost of $10 per meal for one person, runs $2,500 a year. While I have a hard time believing it, one family of three spent $30,000 in one year to dine out! Being in debt always comes back to bite you at the worst possible time.
Dine out or eat in? I say it's no contest.

Seed Longevity
I've discussed the issue of seed longevity before. In many cases, it's worth trying to germinate older seed. But just how old? Thereby hangs a tale…
One of the benefits of the internet is that you can often find scanned copies of old books and articles you might otherwise never lay eyes on. (Of course, you can also find everything from junk to outright c**p.) What I found was a handy little booklet published by the USDA in 1978 titled "Principles and Practice of Safe Seed Storage." Its 259 pages are crammed with data on seed saving, seed longevity and seed storage. It includes research from back in the day when Big Ag hadn't started to sway studies with money – meaning the data is much more likely to be honest.
Among the studies the authors mention were the following:
A researcher named A. J. Ewart tested seeds sent from Kew Gardens in England to Melbourne, Australia, in 1856. They had been stored in a dark, dry cabinet for at least 50 years. Many of the seeds germinated and grew. Scientists G. Aufhammer and U. Simon proved that barley and oat seeds 123 years old could be germinated successfully. In 1906 and 1934, Paul Becquerel conducted germination tests of seeds collected as early as 1776. He successfully germinated seeds 158 years old.
I discovered in my reading that the stories of seeds from the Pyramids are just that – stories. No one has ever successfully germinated wheat from a pyramid. However, a seed from a date palm found in 1973 at the ancient Jewish fortress of Masada was germinated in 2005. The date palm seed was from an extinct species, the Judean date palm, and was estimated to be 1,900 years old. The seedling that resulted was named Methuselah. The Anasazi cave bean was discovered in ancient ruins in the early 1900s. It may have been as much as 750 years old, but the original seeds were apparently never carbon-dated. Researchers have found that hard-coated seeds typically have the greatest longevity – members of the legume family tend to be the winners in this race.
When you buy seed, you should consider these facts:
If you buy new seeds every year, how you store them probably doesn't matter as long as you don't allow them to get wet. If you save your own, store them in the coolest, driest conditions possible. The best option is to place seeds that are carefully labeled and very well-sealed in a glass jar in the fridge. Scatter desiccant packets in the jars to take care of any residual moisture. You will know exactly how old they are. If you do the job right, it may be that your great-grandchildren will know as well.

Food Map USA
I talk a lot about food on this blog – growing it, harvesting it, prepping it, preserving it and cooking it. It's probably the most basic of human needs outside of water. You can cobble together a shelter in an emergency (we're not talking modern housing, OK?). You can scavenge something to wear. But if the cupboard is bare, you're SOL. So this food map should make you sit up and pay attention.
For most people, their food comes from somewhere else. It's transported by trucks, planes and trains, all of which run on oil. As the food map shows, a tremendous amount of that food comes from a very few locations. A whopping lot of it comes from southern California – six counties, as a matter of fact. In other words, your food supply is dependent on a LONG supply chain. What do you think is likely to happen to this food map if there's a trucker's strike, a major California earthquake (The Big One is long overdue) or we get into a shooting war in the Middle East?
It ain't going to be pretty. Now is an excellent time to take a good hard look at your local food sources. Support them – it could be your life you save.

What's good y'all. Jay here. As apart of the evolution of the site, I've decided to add a few contributors. That's right, we're expanding! They will be people who have awesome viewpoints and amazing personal stories. The first is Jazmine Duke. She is the founder The Female Condition, which is a no holds barred feminist website. Followers of JSC Radio will remember her from her amazing appearance in January on Episode No. 27.
During that show, she mentioned that she is writing a book on her wonderful relationship with her father called "I'm Black and I Have a Dad" which will talk about her experience growing up in Minnesota with a single black father who raised her to be an independent, free-spirited Feminist. On this Father's Day, she drops this wonderful story about her father and opens a window in to why dude is her ace.
Without further ado, I hand the floor off to Jazmine.
ATLANTA (JSC) — Every year around Father's Day, I start to wonder, how does a little girl end up being best friends with her father? We live our normal day-to-day together, we have for so long, it isn't often that I take a look back at how we got here.
I don't really know where it all began, when exactly we became irrevocably connected to each other.
My dad says that we were connected before I even came out of my mother's womb. That he would put his hand on her belly, talk to me and I would go crazy.
It's a sweet visual. My mom with a big pregnant belly, her body working to make me, the human inside her, my dad with his hands on her belly, talking to me, and me kicking excited to hear his voice.
He told me this story again recently, following it up with 'before you even came into this world, you knew I was your guy.'
I always enjoy the sentiment my dad brings to my childhood stories. But, I thought that it was just a cute story; something that dad's say to daughters. I've been looking through my early childhood pictures, I started to catch a theme in the photographs that made me think this was more than just a cute story my dad tells.
All of the pictures taken with my dad behind the camera, I have a big Kool-Aid smile. All of the pictures where I am looking at my dad, the same big, silly grin is on my face. And then there are the pictures other people took of me with my dad, my face is … less than interested. My expression seems to convey 'why are they interrupting us?' To anyone shooting pictures of us together.
Maybe, my dad is right. Maybe we were connected before I even arrived in the world. Or maybe, it was that before I came out of the womb he had already decided that I was the most important part of his life.
My Dad Saved My Life
And, I am not talking figuratively or symbolically – my dad literally saved my life once.
I was around 5 or 6 years old and we were at a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. For the first 10 or so years of my life, I had long hair just about down to my waist.
Backstory: My dad prefers long hair. When I was a little girl, he saw no reason why I needed to cut my hair, at all. And, I mean at all, I had terribly long, damaged hair for most of my youth. When I was 12, my mom went rogue and took me to get a haircut. I got it short with the long front like T-Boz from TLC. Dad was mad; literally everyone else was happy.
Big-eyed, little Jazmine wanted to get on one of the kiddie rides at Chuck E. Cheese. So I did. I hopped in a seat on a ride that took me up and around a circle over and over until the ride completed. My dad stood next to me as the ride took me round and round. While the ride was still in process my dad noticed something alarming, my long hair had gotten stuck in the machine and as the ride went round it was further pulling my hair and head back into the machine. Immediately aware that if the ride pulled my hair much further, it would likely snap my neck, my dad began to recruit help from the staff at Chuck E. Cheese.
The problem was, no one knew how to shut the machine off.
There we were, my head being pulled back by the machine inch by inch and no one on the staff able to help us. My dad did what he knew how to do, the only thing left to do, he sacrificed him to save me.
With little thought or care for his own safety, he lifted the machine up and pulled it away from the wall, unplugging the ride, and setting it back on the floor.
He quickly grabbed me, lifting me out of the seat and unwrapping my hair from the ride's grap. The time between getting me out of the ride and when the ambulance arrived were all a blur.
When the ambulance arrived, the EMT was paying special attention to my dad. Pushing him with growing urgency to get checked out ASAP. My dad, annoyed with the attention being paid to him, insisted that I was checked out first.
In all the commotion, he failed to notice that his arm was completely out of the socket, dangling limp next to his body.
On this Father's Day, our 32nd together. I'd like to thank my dad for being my favorite human. I wish everyone had what we have.

Relax. It's Your First Job.
Your first job. It's been built up in your mind for a very long time. The mere concept elicits a wide range of emotions from excitement about being done with school and in the "real world" to utter panic because you're done with school and in the "real world." As a result of this dichotomy, soon-to-be college graduates feel incredible pressure, thinking everything they've done in school all the way from kindergarten up to college led to this critical milestone. The notion of a "first job" can send even the most confident accomplished student into utter panic. But I'm here to allay those concerns and try to bring some perspective and calm anxious nerves.

Lac La Ronge Indian Band members are traveling across the north teaching people how to garden
The Star-Phoenix, April 27, 2016
Every time Phillip McLeod went boating along the Churchill River in northern Saskatchewan, he saw huge cleared areas along the forested riverbank.
Curious about who had once tamed the land, the Lac La Ronge Indian Band member told the elders what he'd seen.
"They said 'That used to be our garden,' " McLeod recalls. They told him stories of using dynamite to blast away rocks and trees and of nurturing a wide range of crops including strawberries, melons, potatoes and carrots.
The elders McLeod spoke with hadn't gardened for more than 50 years.
"It's kind of like a dying culture," he said. "They're so old now that they can't get on a boat and go down there and continue planting."
McLeod hopes to change that trend; he's part of a group of community cultural workers from Lac La Ronge Indian Band that's travelling to northern communities teaching residents how to garden. Last week, they delivered workshops to 73 people in Grandmother's Bay, Sucker River and La Ronge. This week they'll be in Little Red River and Hall Lake.
The focus isn't on gardening huge plots, as was done in the past, but on growing things in smaller community gardens and raised beds outside people's homes, which makes it easier for elders to access the gardens.
Community cultural workers bring sprouted plants, and people who attend the workshops leave with fledgling potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, garlic and other fruits and vegetables that can survive the short northern growing season. People attending the workshops are encouraged to get their hands dirty and are taught how to replant seedlings, compost and mix appropriate soil.
"It's really neat to see the smiles on their faces because it seems like they become children again when they've got their hands in there and they're laughing and just enjoying it," said Alex Halkett, who also leads the workshops.
The workshops help reconnect people to a way of life that was once commonplace in northern Saskatchewan, promote healthy eating and give families the skills to save on increasingly high grocery bills by growing their own fresh produce.
"We have a huge problem with diabetes in the north and all sorts of different illnesses, and a lot of it is due to what we eat, what we consume, and we're trying to instil in the community that we should get back to feeding our children vegetables and fruit instead of the quick little cheezies," Halkett said.
Workshops are supposed to wrap up this week, but the demand for them has been incredible across the north and the community cultural workers say they hope to host a few more before mid-May, when the growing season is well underway.

Artificial Grass Water Drainage
Compared to natural grass, artificial grass requires fairly little maintenance. The grass never grows, so it won't require any form of mowing, fertilization, or the spraying of pesticides for weed control. The only major form of maintenance that is necessary to educate yourself in would be any artificial grass drainage problems and their solutions. Much like natural grass, artificial grass is susceptible to all sorts of water damage that can affect your entire property so preparing for these problems before they arise is the best prevention method of all. It also will avoid any unexpected repair costs.
California has seen incredible amounts of rainfall in the past few months and owners of artificial turf have struggled with issues of flooding and artificial turf drainage. Whether you have artificial turf on your deck, patio, or rooftops, you'll have to install the proper drainage systems to guide the water in the right direction and prevent any water damage. Besides property damage, increased exposure to water will shorten the lifespan of your artificial turf and make it more susceptible to other forms of physical and structural damage.
An easy DIY artificial grass drainage system can be done during the initial installation process. Whoever does the installation (a landscaper, yourself, or an industry profession) can actually create strategic slopes in the ground before laying down the new grass that will recruit the power of gravity to divert the water in the right direction.
Many people also choose to invest in a vinyl drainage mat to place below the turf, such as the Cactus Mat, before the initial installation to provide drainage under artificial turf. These mats interlock with others so you can easily create your specific layout in any size. It's a cost-effective way to prevent flooding and avoid the build-up of excess water. It is a low cost yet effective way of creating a synthetic grass drainage system. Some mat sets cost as little as $13.
One of the biggest influencers in any artificial turf drainage problem is the condition of the soil underneath. Denser earth, with more of a clay-like texture, will require more extensive turf drainage, as it is already thicker and damper in general. Some people also choose to add a layer of gravel (such as river sand) beneath the turf, which allows for a sturdy, but effective drainage measure. The holes between the rocks will guide the water away from the artificial turf, acting as natural drainage under artificial grass. Once it's installed, you won't have to worry about maintaining it.
Many people want to invest in an artificial grass drainage system but feel uncertain that they can do it on their own. Those people will often turn to artificial turf industry professionals. If that's the route you're wanting to take, please consult JusTurf. We employ some of the most experienced professionals in the area and can provide quick and thorough service!

How to Bocce
We here at Poly-Wood are a competitive bunch. From golf leagues to ugly Christmas sweater contests, or even challenges for who can eat 6 saltine crackers in 60 seconds (only me at this point) — we enjoy pitting ourselves against our fellow co-workers in friendly competitions.
However, the most prestigious and fiercely fought competition here at our Syracuse HQ is the Annual Bocce Ball Tournament. Spanning July and August, this round-robin style tourney has become the most well-known and widely talked about competition at Poly-Wood.
Our custom Bocce Ball Trophy is the most sought-after piece of hardware in all of Poly-Wood sports.
As we all begin our off-season bocce ball training regiments (in preparation for next year's tournament), I thought I would share with everyone exactly how to play the game. That way, you too can get in on the bocce action with friends and family at your remaining backyard fall barbecues.
What you'll need:
If you have one available, an official set of bocce balls is great. Otherwise, you can use any type of ball so long as you have one small target ball and then two larger balls per player.
The Basics
At the start of the match, the target ball is thrown. Players then alternate throwing their bocce balls, with the goal of getting their balls closest to the target ball.
- The player with his or her bocce closest to the target ball receives 2 points
- The second closest player receives 1 point
- If one player is both closest as well as second closest, they receive 3 points
- If a player's bocce is touching the target ball, they receive an extra point
- The match continues until a player reaches 21 points
Now I know there are many ways to throw a bocce ball, but I've summed up some of the popular techniques seen in the Poly-Wood league:
The Roll – as fundamental as it gets. The roll favors the precision player who likes to get the 'feel' of it.
The Shot Put – also know as the 'skyscraper', this shot throws the ball high and takes out the roll factor.
The Chuck – When all else fails, chuck it. This shot requires little skill and a lot of luck. But when you throw a ball 20 yards and it lands 3 inches from the target, it feels pretty good.
That's all there is to it! Now get out there and have some fun…and remember, bocce favors the bold!

I'm not a scientist nor an explorer, but I've recently discovered the huge benefits of magnesium! Allow me to explain…
At the ripe age of 44, uninterrupted sleep has become a distant memory for the last couple of years. It would seem I'm in the phase of life called "perimenopause", a fancy word for "Your body is changing and life as you now know it will never be the same. Hang on, 'cause it's gonna be a bumpy ride!" Such is life. Yes, it's the stage right before the big change commonly known as menopause. I can tell you, sometimes your body betrays you and does things that defy all logic.
I used to be able to sleep with no problem whatsoever. Then, shortly before I had neck surgery in 2012, I began having trouble staying asleep. I can go to sleep with no problem generally. But, it seems that hormonal changes affect the ability to remain asleep. I'm so jealous of my husband's ability to snore through the night! 😉 He does so with such ease! 🙂
I've never been one to take a lot of medicine and I opt for the all natural route whenever possible. A few months back, I discovered magnesium in gel cap form and decided to give it a whirl as a sleep aid. Magnesium is a natural sedative. I'm very sensitive to all medication, so the 125 mg. dosage works like a charm. I don't take it every night but when I do, it helps to regulate my sleep pattern for several days. I'm so sensitive to medicine that one Advil (200 mg.) puts me to sleep. That never used to happen! See what I mean about your body changing?
Another thing that didn't used to bother me was indigestion. I usually steer clear of tomato sauces (i.e. spaghetti, lasagna, etc.) and spicy food late at night. I have an all natural remedy for that too…Papaya tablets with mint. I like the NOW brand. They're chewable and work great! Actually, they're good for many stomach and digestion issues.
{Disclaimer: I'm not a medical professional (obviously!) so please consult your physician for advice.}
The other awesome form of magnesium is in Epsom salt!!! I do a lot of work around the house, not to mention, caring for my father. No grass ever grows under my feet. I'm always in motion. As such, from time to time, I have muscle aches. Plus, I'm recovering from a sprained arm from scraping ice and snow off the SUV. This injury has droned on way too long. So, I've been soaking in Epsom salt regularly and have noticed such a difference!!
I'm the new poster child for Epsom salt. Just saying that makes me feel like an old fogie, but if it works, I don't mind that label!
Lastly, the third benefit of magnesium is it helps with regularity. No disappointments there. 'Nuff said.
I love to pass along information on things that have helped me. And, if you have any of the above challenges, it might be worth an investigation. Some of the best things in life are natural. And, I am so thankful that God gave us magnesium! They say that most people have a deficiency in magnesium, so there's little risk you can over do it. Magnesium is an all natural muscle relaxer and I can attest to feeling very relaxed and ready for sleep after soaking in Epsom salt. It's one of my new favorite things! Who knew?

Duncan James has joked that touring with Lee Ryan is "very much an experience".
The boyband star claimed that his last jaunt with Blue involved a lot of "craziness" and "fire extinguishers".
Speaking at the launch of new reality show Don't Stop Believing, James said: "Hanging around with Lee Ryan on tour is very much an experience. I remember stories last time around that I am not actually going to repeat on Digital Spy because they would shock a lot of people.
"There was a lot of craziness and fire extinguishers being let off for some unknown reason. Lee would like going around squirting people with fire extinguishers. One night in Newcastle, Alan Shearer and all the Newcastle football players were in the hotel and Lee came down, running in with a fire extinguisher and soaked everyone including Alan Shearer.
"The last thing I remember is the security running after Lee down the corridor. Funnily enough we were told we couldn't go back to that hotel again."
Don't Stop Believing starts on Sunday at 7pm on Five.

Stanford University, 1956
Harvard University, 1960, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology
Keith Conners was born and raised in Utah with an older sister and a twin sister. He spent his first year in school in a one-room schoolhouse in Ophir, Utah. After his appendix ruptured, his family moved to Salt Lake City to obtain better medical treatment. At 15, he skipped most of high school and went to study in Chicago. He became a clinical psychologist and founded the ADHD program at Duke University. He has done a number of studies of how foods affect attention in children, including writing a book called Feeding the Brain. Although he is retired, he occasionally lectures and consults. He also spends his time, writing, reading, and painting oil and watercolors. He credits the Rhodes experience for pointing him to psychology as his profession, as well as providing him with peak experiences that have lasted a lifetime.
Q. I read that you were born in Bingham, Utah. At what age did you move to Salt Lake City?
From Bingham, I moved to a little mountain village called Ophir. Ophir in the Bible was the place where King Solomon's mines were supposedly located. It was a small town that served a large mining operation nearby called The Hidden Treasure. I lived in this canyon town until I was five. I still regard that experience as "a hidden treasure" in my growing up.
It was there that I did my first "psychotherapy" at the age of four. There was a lady in her late 80s named Mrs. Howerth, who lived down the road. On the way to work, my dad walked past her house. He had to climb over a mountain about five miles to where they were mining. He did that every day and learned that Mrs. Howerth who lived on his was was there with nobody to take care of her.
He suggested to me that it would be nice if I would take her a pot of soup. So I lugged a pot of soup to her little house where she had chickens, and introduced myself. She was gracious and charming, and sat in one small room with the rest of the house closed off. I sat in a chair and she started talking with me. She was very glad to have company and liked to talk about her life. She would have been one of the original pioneers in that part of the country before Utah was a state. She had a husband who had long since passed away, and there was a portrait of him that sat behind her. He was in a cowboy hat and had a red beard. She told a lot of really interesting stories about their pioneer days. I would sit there for hours listening to her tell these stories. A day or two later, I would come back and bring her some more food, or groceries, or just to listen to her stories. That was how I learned to sit still and listen for a long time to people's life stories. It is one of my fondest memories, not only because of the beauty of the surroundings, but also because of the quiet harmony with adults who allowed us to explore freely while still feeling safe wandering through the valley unattended most of the time.
I lived there until I had a ruptured appendix, when they rushed me to a hospital in Salt Lake City. I had contracted peritonitis and in those days with no antibiotics, it was a fairly serious event. Since there was no hospital, or medical care near the canyon, we moved to Salt Lake in 1939. I remember that time fairly vividly. When I was getting treatments for peritonitis, I remember seeing headlines in the newspaper that Hitler invaded Poland. I would have been six years old. I grew up in Salt Lake until the end of the Second World War.

Who Am I?
There are two streams in the way that I work with clients. In my Creative Business Consultation work I help emerging and established creatives to structure and fine tune the mechanics of their business and make informed decisions about the kind of business model to employ and how to implement it. I also provide advice for how to craft a digital presence. This is for people who are after a simple 'how to'. It is also for people who are seeking a more holistic approach to their creative work and business.
In my Creative Coaching work, I go a lot deeper with clients. During our sessions we explore in-depth the blocks that may be preventing them from manifesting their full potential, both creatively and financially. Together we choose the best tools to bring light to these hindrances and dissolve them. As a trained and experienced Intuitive, I have a knack for getting to the very core of what is holding you back and helping you to move gently but swiftly through the resolution.
I have also combined these two approaches in my unique e-course Holistic Business Mapping- Business Planning with Art and Soul.
I have worked with artists, architects, photographers, painters, graphic designers, energy workers, massage therapists, psychologists, jewellers, writers, fashion designers, hair-dressers, dancers, yoga teachers, gallery owners, doctors, psychics, ceramicists, retail store owners, naturopath's, radio DJ's, mothers, editors, producers, social media experts, foodies, journalists, online-store owners, performers, digital projection artists and more. If you can vaguely define it as a 'creative' then I can work with you.

I know it's a little early for a 2010 Senior, but Kayla is my niece and very busy so I grab the chance when I can. Plus, when Jen came to town she hadn't done a senior session yet so this gave Kayla more pictures and giving Jen and I a chance to work together doing what we love…taking beautiful pictures. It was great to Jen in action and to see her creative energy.
Kayla's pictures took place in Boswell, Indiana on Thanksgiving, then when Jen arrived we took Kayla's pictures at the old Clinton High School/Middle School. I have to tell you that this building is the perfect setting for an urban, edgy Senior shoot.
Here is a link to Jen's Blog: http://blog.jenrinaldiphotography.com/
These were done on Thanksgiving
On to the urban edgy session at the H.S/Middle School
