During her high school career in Arizona, Paige Linne found out that Texas A&M had an equestrian team and immediately made a goal. She was going to do everything she could to be a member of the Aggies' equestrian team. Linne had several family members, including both of her parents, that attended the school, so naturally she wanted to follow in their footsteps.
Linne began competing for the Texas A&M stock horse team, a club team that participates in a collegiate division of stock horse shows, during the fall of her freshman year in 2011. While competing with the stock horse team, Linne went to walk-on tryouts for the varsity equestrian team, where she made the cut and crossed that No. 1 goal off her list.
Hard work, determination and dedication allowed Linne to make the team, but they weren't traits that just showed up in college. She was raised with those values, and it showed in high school as she was part of several programs while also helping out her community and church.
With Linne recently wrapping up her career on the Texas A&M equestrian team, she immediately started the next chapter of her journey, first by enrolling in the Masters of Equine Industry Management program at Texas A&M, and then by becoming the first graduate student to intern with the National Collegiate Equestrian Association this summer.
Linne had many responsibilities during her internship, including helping to find sponsors and funding, communicating with administrators at prospective schools all over the country and developing handbooks, among other things.
"This internship has been an invaluable opportunity for me to learn about the other side of the sport," Linne said. "I am thankful to (Texas A&M senior associate athletics director for facilities and construction) Mr. (Kevin) Hurley for making this internship possible for me, offering to house me in A&M athletics, and challenging me to grow throughout the process. Additionally, the A&M coaching staff, (Texas A&M equine professors) Dr. (Jim) Heird and Dr. (Anna) Morrison have been valuable mentors to me throughout my career at A&M and through this internship. I owe a big thank you to (Texas A&M equestrian head coach) Tana McKay especially, for letting me set up shop in her office from time to time and pick her brain on a variety of topics."
During her time with the NCEA, Linne showed an ability to get things done, and made an impact on those she worked with.
"Paige’s work ethic was obvious from the first day," NCEA executive director Leah Fiorentino said. "She worked closely with the new school initiative and became an active member of the Sport Advancement Committee. Her attention to detail and her written communication skills were called into play in the development of information materials for the athletic directors considering the addition of equestrian as a sport at their schools."
With the NCEA internship, Linne was able to learn a lot more about the sport of equestrian in general, and came away from the experience with an entirely new appreciation for how much work goes on behind the scenes.
"I knew I loved the sport from the position of a student-athlete, but this internship exposed me to important facets of the sport - from what it takes for a school to start a new team, fundraising efforts and the overall structure of college equestrian programs," Linne said. "I hope to continue to be an advocate for the sport in whatever way I can."
The chances of Linne continuing to make an impact on the sport are definitely high. After getting her masters degree in the Texas A&M equine program, she hopes to become a head coach at the NCAA level. While in graduate school, Linne serves as the coach of the stock horse team, back where her Aggie career first started.
Linne's former head coach has all the faith in the world that the Arizona native can accomplish yet another dream goal.
"I thoroughly enjoyed having Paige on the team," McKay said. "She was an exemplary teammate and leader. It has also been exciting to see Paige enter into her professional career and the process of grad school. She has handled the challenges and new responsibilities with class and character. I know Paige will be an asset to the equine industry."
"After continuing to learn more about the sport and my experience with the stock horse team, I feel like coaching is my place to make an impact in the world and the best way for me to continue to pursue my passions and be a positive force in the lives of others," Linne added.
Linne believes that both her experience as an equestrian student-athlete and as an intern for the NCEA have more than prepared her for the future. Thanks to Linne jumping at the opportunities to challenge herself and learn more about the sport, that future appears very bright.
"I saw and experienced firsthand how participation as an equestrian student-athlete can empower and enlighten young women," Linne said. "Team members leave with an education that expands well beyond the classroom, having gained time management and leadership skills and being instilled with a sense of dedication and competitive drive in whatever field they pursue after graduation. I can say that the perspective I have about the sport is different after interning for the NCEA, and I think it lit my fire of passion even more for women's collegiate equestrian and the impact it can have in the lives of young women."
"Paige’s pathway to success is clear," Fiorentino added. "She has the potential to move into the collegiate coaching arena, and might even move to higher administrative levels. I am so grateful to Paige for her contributions this summer, and I can’t wait for her to join the coaching ranks."

Sometimes people we love do things we don’t like or approve of. We react. They react. Before long, we’re all reacting to each other, and the problem escalates.
When do we detach? When we’re hooked into a reaction of anger, fear, guilt, or shame. When we get hooked into a power play—an attempt to control or force others to do something they don’t want to do. When the way we’re reacting isn’t helping the other person or solving the problem. When the way we’re reacting is hurting us.
Often, it’s time to detach when detachment appears to be the least likely, or possible, thing to do.
The first step toward detachment is understanding that reacting and controlling don’t help. The next step is getting peaceful—getting centered and restoring our balance.
Take a walk. Leave the room. Go to a meeting. Take a long, hot bath. Call a friend. Call on God. Breathe deeply. Find peace. From that place of peace and centering will emerge an answer, a solution.
Today, I will surrender and trust that the answer is near.

It looks like celebrities are having a tough time styling velvet this season. After Kiara Advani's appearance in a head-to-toe pink pantsuit in velvet, actress Mouni Roy and Miss World Manushi Chhillar have joined the 'how not to wear velvet' club and we cannot stop taking copious notes. Both of them wore a velvet dress, styled them in entirely different ways and both failed to make an impression.
Let's begin with Manushi's look, shall we?
Manushi Chhillar wore an indigo blue velvet maxi dress to the Miss World 2018 Talent finals. The dress had a statement-making one-shoulder sleeve and a thigh-high slit and she paired it with silver peep-toe heels, complementing the contrasting embellishments all over the dress.
Had these been tiny polka dots instead of big embellishments, the outfit would have been something else. Something good, in case I wasn't clear.
To make things worse, Manushi wore gold-toned kundan jewellery with it. A hand harness and a pair of drop earrings added some Indianness to the western ball gown, so the end result was a confused look with out-of-place accessories. An elegant pair of silver-toned earrings would have done justice to the dress and made it look more tasteful.
Mouni's look, too, broke our heart. The Gold actress wore a black velvet wrap dress and cinched it with an extremely OTT gold belt, giving the dress a blouson silhouette. Then there were her grey suede, over-the-knee boots that made us cringe.
Mouni was all dressed up for two of her friends' birthday party last night. She completed her look with a chain sling bag with gold studs on it. Yes, that didn't help either.
Veteran TV actress Aamna Sharif and popular South Indian actress Vedhika Kumar too attended the party with Mouni.
Keep the dress and the boots, but skip the belt and replace the gold sling bag with an evening clutch instead. Or, the dress and the matching sling bag can be paired with black heels, minus the belt, of course. Fitted boots don't complement the blouson shape well.
So, ladies, take cues from Manushi and Mouni and know your dress before you address. In case you are not sure which dress shape is perfect for you, here is how you can find the most stylish dress for yourself. Also, accessories and footwear are equally important, so find the right type of boots here.

The Justice Department inspector general’s officedeclassified a report in 2015 that reveals the internal watchdog had concerns as early as 2012 that the FBI was submitting ‘deficient” reports indicating it had a clean record complying with spy data gathered on Americans without a warrant.
That doubt, heaviest among civil libertarian Democrats but also growing among Republicans, is particularly sensitive because the law that allows the bureau to access warrantless spy data about Americans - Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act - is up for renewal later this year.
But a respected former Justice Department national security prosecutor questions if the searching has gotten too cavalier. AmyJeffress, the former top security adviser to former Attorney General Eric Holder, was appointed by the intelligence court in 2015 to give anindependent assessmentof the FBI’s record of compliance.
“Nobody gets to see FISA information of any kind unless they've had the appropriate training and have the appropriate oversight,” the soon-to-be-fired FBI director assured lawmakers.
The FBI told Circa in a statement, "As indicated in its opinion, the Court determined that the past and current standard minimization procedures are consistent with the Fourth Amendment and met the statutory definition of those procedures under Section 702."
Circa congressional correspondent Kellan Howell contributed to this story.

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has taken notice of the uncertainty regarding the operation of the new metro bus service from Peshawar Mor.
The track will be completed soon but so far, it has not been decided who will operate the new bus service.
The premier directed the National Highway Authority (NHA) to float a request for proposals and to start the tendering process immediately. The successful bidder will be dealt by a company to be incorporated by the Capital Development Authority (CDA).
NHA officials told Dawn that the prime minister had last week directed the authority to immediately float the request for proposals for the procurement of bus services along with ancillary services and contracts for immediately making the Airport-Peshawar Mor bus service operational.
According to the officials, the premier has directed that the tender documents and the request for proposals should explicitly mention that all contracts awarded will be subsequently be novated to a successor company to be incorporated by the CDA for the operation and maintenance of the said bus line project.
The NHA is doing construction work on the project for the 25.6 km track worth Rs16 billion, from Peshawar Mor to the new airport and, according to the officials, the work is near completion.
The letter from the Prime Minister’s Office, available with Dawn, says: “While reviewing the progress of New Islamabad Airport, prime minister has noted with concerns that even though substantial physical progress has been done so far to construction of the metro bus corridor, absolutely nothing has been done so far to contract out procurement, operation and maintenance etc of bus service itself”.
It goes on to say that the prime minister believes immediate steps should be taken for contracting out the procurement, operation, maintenance and ancillary facilities of bus services so the facility is available to commuters when the corridor is completed.
“Since Punjab Mass Transit Authority [the current operator of the Rawalpindi-Islamabad metro bus] has expressed its inability to operate this project, the prime minister in view of the public interest and the current limitations of CDA has pleased to direct that NHA shall immediately float RFPs,” the letter says.
The prime minister has directed for the process of floating request for proposals and tenders to be expedited and fully synchronised with the completion of civic works in the project.
The communication division, NHA and CDA have been directed to take immediate further action accordingly for the implementation of the prime minister’s orders.
When asked, NHA spokesperson Kashif Zaman confirmed that the authority has received the premier’s directives through the Ministry of Communications for initiating the procurement process for making the new metro bus service operational.
CDA spokesperson Malik Saleem said the civic agency has started work on the drafting an action plan in light of the prime minister’s directive.
CDA officials Dawn spoke to said that the civic agency will have to make amendments to the CDA ordinance of 1960 for operating and maintaining the bus service through a company as according to the current ordinance, operating a bus service is not the CDA’s mandate.
However, the CDA spokesperson said he does not know if an amendment will be needed.
“But we will fulfil all requirements for the implementation of the prime minister’s order in letter and spirit,” he said.
The NHA and CDA have been at loggerheads over the construction of two underpasses on the Kashmir Highway. The CDA has been requesting the NHA to construct to underpasses to link G-16 with H-16 and G-17 with H-17, the new residential sectors to be developed. The NHA is saying there was no such provision in the PC-1 for the construction of the corridor.
The issue has been taken up several times in the Senate Standing Committee on Cabinet Secretariat, where members of the committee have supported the CDA’s stance.
CDA representatives told the committee that the NHA is constructing the metro bus track on the Kashmir Highway and is going to install a fence to separate the designated metro bus track from the highway. They argued that residents will face accessibility problems if the underpasses are not constructed. The NHA said it would be willing to do pile work for the underpasses so the CDA can construct them in the future but CDA officials said this was not the solution.
In a meeting of the standing committee last month, NHA officials said the metro track will be completed by the end of January while eight bus station and civic work will be finished by May this year.

Throughout the Hebrew Bible, key characters are often the youngest sons in their families. For example, Moses has two older siblings, Miriam and Aaron. David is the youngest of six brothers and is chastised by his eldest brother, Eliab, for leaving the family’s sheep and coming to watch the battle with the Philistines (1Sam 17). However, it is in the book of Genesis that a recurrent motif of the younger son prevailing over his older siblings is set up as a dynamic plot device, driving the narrative forward. In a number of stories, the youngest son usurps the elder for the twin prizes of the father’s blessing and a double portion of the “birthright” or inheritance. Although some texts suggest that primogeniture (that is, the passing on of an estate or title to the eldest son) is the traditional practice (see Deut 21:15-17), Genesis offers some intriguing perspectives on what factors might be at play in choosing one son over another.
Within the narratives of Genesis, this sibling-conflict motif results in the first murder (Gen 4). Eve’s first son is Cain (“a tiller of the ground”), and Abel (“a keeper of sheep”) soon follows. It is when the brothers make sacrificial offerings of their respective firstfruits (Hebrew bekhor) that the trouble starts: God has “regard for Abel and his offering, but for Cain and his offering he had no regard” (Gen 4:4-5). Cain is so angry that he leads Abel out to the fields and kills him.
The Hebrew word bekhor can signify a number of things: “firstborn,” “firstfruits,” or, as a qualitative noun, “birthright.” When Cain and Abel offer their firstfruits, there is also an echo of a claim for priority or birthright over one another. So, within the first chapters of Genesis, divine favor plays a role in the countercultural prevailing of a younger son over his older sibling (even though Abel is killed because of it).
Coming much later in Genesis and after the struggles between other foundational sibling rivals (Isaac and Ishmael; Jacob and Esau), the story of Joseph and his brothers is a more complex and literary tale. Although Joseph is the eleventh son of Jacob (Israel), he is Rachel’s firstborn, so in a sense he is both firstborn and favored. The text specifically notes that “Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his children, because he was the son of his old age; and he had made him a long robe with sleeves. But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him” (Gen 37:3-4). The jealousy of his elder brothers results in Joseph being sold into slavery in Egypt, a nation that functions as a traditional archetypal enemy in ancient Israelite narrative.
As Joseph rises through the ranks in the Egyptian court (after some canny dream interpretation), his brothers come from Canaan, where there is a famine, to beg for food. Here, we begin to see how the folk motif of “the elder serving the younger” serves a larger political and theological purpose. Because the tiny kingdoms of Judah and Israel were vulnerable to much larger ancient Near Eastern powers such as the Egyptians, the Babylonians, and the Persians, this folk motif portrays God as supporting the more unlikely heroes, the “younger sons.” The implication, as Frederick Greenspahn writes, is “that the success of Israel’s ancestors was neither easy or expected, making Israel’s status both surprising and suspect.” The younger and weaker are still significant.
In a nice literary twist, toward the end of the Joseph narrative, Joseph brings his sons Ephraim and Manasseh for a blessing from Jacob. Jacob places his left hand on the eldest son’s head (Manasseh) and his right (the hand of blessing) on the youngest (Ephraim). Joseph is displeased that Jacob is not blessing his firstborn and tries to get him to switch hands, thinking that Jacob, in his blindness, is mistaken. Jacob responds, “I know, my son, I know; he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great. Nevertheless his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his offspring shall become a multitude of nations” (Gen 48:19). The cycle continues.
(tribe, not king) One of the "Joseph tribes" of the northern kingdom of Israel, the other being Ephraim. All the other tribes are named after the sons of Jacob, but Ephraim and Manasseh, geographically the largest of the tribes, are named after his grandsons, the two sons of Joseph.

We’ve had our fingers on the pulse of cloud-based contact center solutions since the initial offerings came to market. There’s a lot to like about them: features/functions, flexibility, agility, ongoing upgrades, reduced demands on IT, attractive economics, and so on. Vendor messaging leans heavily on “good, fast, and cheap” to draw overburdened contact center and IT staff to their doorsteps. Yet through a series of articles, we’ve been the voice of reason to ward off hasty decisions that could have serious long-term implications.
The latest market development involves a new breed of “consultant” who promise to cut through the “red tape” and accelerate the decision-making process. Unfortunately, they may simply act as brokers who solicit bids without investing the time and energy to define requirements and match them to the ideal solution providers. In fact, they may even get referral fees from their favorite vendors (not your best-fit vendor) for promoting their solutions. And when the time comes for contract negotiation and implementation, they may not have your back.
We appreciate the drive to streamline procurement and implementation processes, and we’ve found sensible ways to meet that need. However, a certain level of thoughtful planning and deliberation makes sense to get the right vendor partner and gain the most value from the technology investment.
The contact center needs a clear understanding of its requirements to drive the decision process toward solutions that will best meet them. This process considers the center’s short-term needs and long-term plans (e.g., growth, multimedia support). It’s also informed by an understanding of what’s possible, especially for those centers that have languished with old technology for years.
The selection process needs to focus on vendor solutions that that are aligned with the center’s needs. There is a lot of diversity in cloud solution architectures, technology integration, delivery systems, implementation approach and resources, support options, pricing models, etc. Not all vendors are created equal! The evaluation process should secure apples-to-apples comparisons among the finalists and yield accurate budgetary figures. Unpleasant surprises don’t serve anyone’s best interests.
Contract negotiation should revolve around a clear Statement of Work to gain a detailed understanding of project scope, licensing, payment structures, implementation and setup fees, network access, system integration, implementation, and ongoing support.
Senior leadership needs to read the contract to understand what they’re getting and what they’re not getting in the new business relationship. It should leave no mysteries about service level agreements (SLAs), including response times, resolution times, escalation processes and remediation. Licensing counts and changes, terms, and termination are also very important. Not all contracts are created equal!
The center, IT, and vendor need to assign roles, responsibilities, and timelines for implementation, testing, cutover, and ongoing support. A project lead should be designated to keep everyone on task.
Enthusiasm feels good and inspires hope, especially if you’ve labored with old or troublesome technology, but don’t let it distract from what is really important. Invest time up-front in planning to make sure you get what you really need and want. Thereafter, active vendor management delivers ongoing success.

Infinite Art Tournament: It's Halfway Week at the Infinite Art Tournament!!!
It's Halfway Week at the Infinite Art Tournament!!!
Two unrelated facts: We are halfway through 2014, and halfway through the Infinite Art Tournament!!
Halfway Through the Infinite Art Tournament?!?
Sort of! For when Lanyon entered the ring against La Tour on Saturday, they were the 255th and 256th artists out of the 512 that will ultimately be competing in this show! ...or close enough, anyway. If you are enough of a brackets maven to notice that I am fudging a little on this point, you can also see why I'm fudging on this point.
We will celebrate the halfway point this coming weekend by kicking off the Fifth Round!!!
Kicking Off the Fifth Round!!!
That's right -- the Tournament will make a great leap forward, as the winner of Altdorfer/Fra Angelico takes on the winner of Balla/Basquiat in hopes of reaching the Sweet Sixteen. After that, we'll start a contest from the semi-finals on the first weekend of every odd-numbered month. Meanwhile, we'll still be running Fourth-Round matches on the first weekends of even-numbered months, so you'll be able to start every month with some of the most competitive names in the visual arts!
What About the Play-In Tournament?
It's all over!! The last remaining details were resolved on Friday, with Escher toppling Bill Viola for a shot at Tournament glory and Wright of Derby successfully defending his bracket slot. You'll see those guys again in a couple of years!
Wait, am I confused and/or not enough of a bracket maven? Semifinal means final 4, doesn't it? In this case you mean "final 4 for one of the final 16 slots"? Isn't there a special term for that? Semi, Quarter, Sweet,....Decimosexto... ...?

Charlottesville, VA (Special to HNN) — After years of dialogue with administration, marches, rallies, petitions, and public resolutions, the Living Wage Campaign of U.Va. began a Hunger Strike on Feb. 18th to urge U.Va to enact a living wage policy. For 14 years, the Living Wage Campaign and its allies have urged U.Va. to pay their employees enough to meet the basic cost of living in Charlottesville. Despite years of pressure, dialogue, and other efforts, no progress has been made.

In 1912, a two-story brick prison was inaugurated in Ferrara, a city in Italy’s Emilia Romagna region. Over its 80 years of operation, until it was closed in 1992, this was a bleak spot in the beautiful city. Among its detainees were Jews during the Fascist period. But two months ago, Ferrara saw a key step in the profound transformation of this location: On Dec. 13, 2017, the first day of Hanukkah, Italy’s National Museum of Italian Judaism and the Shoah opened in the old prison. This is the initial phase of a monumental project—known as MEIS, after its initials in Italian—to be completed in 2020, with additional buildings that will create a major Jewish cultural hub.
The inaugural event was standing room only, bustling with news camera crews, international journalists, Ferrara residents, and Italian dignitaries, including President Sergio Mattarella. Curators and staff were ceremoniously thanked and acknowledged for their collaborative work to finally bring MEIS to the public. And the mission of MEIS is ambitious: to raise awareness of the vibrant 2,200 years of Italian Judaism, promoting dialogues on the topics of minorities, and of how different cultures interact through history.
The dream began in 2003 with an Act of Parliament, where all parties unanimously voted to support the initiative. What began as a plan for a Holocaust museum expanded in 2006 to a bigger project: to establish a museum to tell the story of two millennia of the Jewish experience in Italy. “The fact that this is a national project is what makes this museum unique in the world,” said MEIS Director Simonetta Della Seta. And unlike smaller, locally funded Jewish museums in Italy, this one is entirely funded, to the tune of 47 million euros, by the Italian government.
In 2011, Studio Arco of Bologna and SCAPE Sp.A Rome won an international competition to design the project. The team, comprising Italian, Japanese, and American architects, created a plan to retain and renovate two of the original Ferrara prison buildings, and to regenerate the property, opening it up in a light-filled, contemporary style to blend with the city.
Construction of five modern buildings, inspired by the five books of the Torah, will begin this year. These buildings will complete the cultural complex of free public spaces, an auditorium, museum shop, library, archives, educational suites, gardens, and restaurants. Work on the grounds was ongoing during the December opening, adding an energetic pulse, and a model of the completed project was displayed.
The museum’s current offerings comprise two parts. First a 24-minute immersive video, “Through the Eyes of the Italian Jews,” which takes viewers time-traveling through the entire history of Italian Judaism, using different narrative voices to personalize key experiences—from a Jewish man deported to Rome after the destruction of the Jerusalem temple to a scribe in the middle ages and a young girl expelled from school in 1938 because of racial laws. The video defines the MEIS vision: to tell the complicated story of the Jewish experience in Italy, which includes painful periods as well as times of peace and collaboration. Second is a 10,000-square-foot exhibit, filling two floors: “Jews, an Italian Story: The First Thousand Years.” Here large video images, texts from historical writers and curators, and over 200 objects from museums around the world—ancient coins, medieval manuscripts, amulets—present the integrative relationship between Jews and a Christian majority, a beneficial interchange that never involved assimilation or loss of identity.
The exhibit, which will be open until Sept. 16, includes a reproduction of a relief from the Arc of Titus, commemorating Rome’s victory over the Jews in 70 CE. This is a landmark of the Jewish presence in Rome, a presence that has endured uninterrupted to the present day, making it the oldest Jewish community in the Western world. Jewish culture took root and flourished throughout the peninsula in the seventh to 11th centuries, as shown through synagogue mosaics, oil lamps inscribed with menorahs, catacomb frescos, and richly decorated manuscripts.
Ferrara was chosen as the location for MEIS because of its long history of active Judaism, documented back to Roman times. The high point of Jewish history in Ferrara came during the reign of the Estes in the 15th and 16th centuries, when the dukes opened the city to Jews who were expelled from Spain, Portugal, Germany, and Italy’s papal states, offering them freedom and protection. Jews thrived here during the Renaissance, working as money lenders, engineers, doctors, and in publishing. By 1589, 2,000 Jews lived in Ferrara, forming a community in what is now the historic center on Via Mazzini, Via Vignatagliata, and Via Vittoria.
But after the Este reign, Jews’ fortunes fell. In 1627, the Ferrara ghetto was introduced, mandating that Jews lived enclosed in its five gates until it was abolished when the Kingdom of Italy was formed in 1859. Liberation opened a period of renewed prosperity for the Ferrara Jews. They fought in WWI and integrated into the city politically: A Jewish mayor, Renzo Ravenna, governed from 1930 until 1938 when Fascist race laws began to be enforced. As WWII began, many of the 700 Jews living in Ferrara escaped. One hundred died in the Holocaust. When the war was over, only 150 returned.
At the museum’s opening, Andrea Pesaro, president of Ferrara’s 100-member Jewish Community, spoke to journalists about Judaism in Ferrara. Despite its small size, he said, the city’s Orthodox community carries on with services at their synagogue on Via Mazzini, which has been in continuous operation since the 15th century.
At 80, Pesaro joked that he brings the average age of the current Jewish community down. All are looking forward to the changes that MEIS will bring—hopefully an influx of new young people, perhaps not only from Italy but also Jews from other parts of the world who are passionate about the project and will revitalize the dwindling population. Inspired by the MEIS opening, the Ferrara tourist board is creating Jewish tourist itineraries for visitors, erecting signage throughout the former ghetto, offering guided tours, and creating a pedestrian path from the synagogue to the museum.
Susan Van Allen is the author of three books about Italian travel, including 100 Places in Italy Every Woman Should Go.

This was another page that was finished right before updating. I finished the inks on this one about 45 minutes ago. The Robin Hood themes become a little more blatant in this one. Not that they weren’t pretty blatant already, mind you. In the last panel we’ve got this story’s equivalents of Friar Tuck, William Scarlett, and Little John. I don’t think William Scarlett was in the Disney version, but I know he was in Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
I don’t really have all that much to say this time around. I spent most of the last two days gluing miniature dwarves together to get them ready for a Warhammer tournament tomorrow. Have I mentioned I’m a huge nerd?
I had originally planned to launch the Black Market online store today. But then those pesky glue fumes kicked in and I forgot to finish getting it ready. Barring any more unexpected fume-related delays it should be up on Sunday. There’s a few things I need to figure out with shipping before it goes online.
Thanks for reading, everybody, have a good weekend and I’ll see on Monday.

After church, my sister called and wanted to tell her fiance, Daniel. I gave her the go-ahead. She also took time to tattle on Mom, who was supposed to wait for the go-ahead before telling anyone, but blabbed to some friends at church this morning. I can't blame her really. I blabbed to a couple of people too, before I was supposed to tell. Its just too exciting to keep it to yourself. This is her first grandbaby, by the way. I'm really proud of her for making it this long, really. We went to lunch with Geron's parents after church, and found out that his mom had told people, too. Its her first grandbaby, too, and she's tried really hard to keep it quiet. If you'd seen her reaction when we told her, you would understand what a hard trial she went through not being able to tell.
Tonight, when we got home, I called Pam and Sue Ellen. They, along with Holly, were tops on my list of people to tell in Richmond. I had a wonderful conversation catching up with Pam. She has been my mentor for probably the last 5 years. She is a woman after God's own heart and its evident to anyone who meets her. I imagine I will be seeking out MOUNDS of advice on parenting from her. I didn't get to tell Sue Ellen tonight. So, if you're reading this, don't say anything to her about the baby unless she mentions it to you first.
Tomorrow, I will tell my kindergarten teachers at school. I can't wait. Its been crazy knowing and not being able to tell all this time. For example, yesterday, I was at a women's retreat and signed up for a no-sew throw seminar. We learned how to make those really cute fleece throws that are kind of popular right now. Well, I picked a baby blanket pattern. There were two ladies from my church in the same seminar and they asked me if there was something I wasn't telling them. Well, I didn't want to lie to them, so I just flat out told them. And added "YOU CAN"T TELL ANYONE". After the seminar, we met with the rest of our group and we each were showing them our blankets. Well, people wanted to know why I had made a baby blanket. I said "Its a baby gift." Well, Lindsey, I could've killed her, said "Who's it for?" I wasn't ready for that. I said "A friend." "What's the friend's name?" I wanted to smack her!!! ( I love her, but I wanted to smack her) It took me a minute and I spit out "Emily" And we left it at that. I felt so guilty for lying. I don't have a friend name Emily having a baby, although I do have a friend named Emily who had a baby almost two years ago. IT ate at me and ate at me that I'd flat out lied to Lindsey. I couldn't wait til today to tell her the truth--I was afraid she'd be angry with me when Geron announced it and she found out I'd lied. (Dummy me, she's not like that.) Well, I pulled her aside and told her, but told her not to tell anyone. Yeah, so I guess I was the worst blabber of them all. I have no right to get onto my mom or Geron's mom for telling. We're all just too excited to keep our mouths shut.

There was no question in my mind that a career in hair and makeup was definitely my calling! Shortly after high school, I took a little break and worked in retail then started researching cosmetology schools. After several school tours with my mom, we finally found the school that I would be going to. I attended Colonna Beauty School in downtown Albany and it was there that my life changed forever! Did I want to pursue a career in hair, or makeup or skin?? I was so passionate about everything that I was just hungry for more and more education.
After school, I took my first job in skincare and makeup. I continued with lots and lots of education. Workshops, seminars, shows. Some of the best education classes I took were Cosmetic ingredients which was a full week of intense classes and to me, was the absolute base and foundation for our industry no matter what direction one might take. Some of my other favorite classes were Shaping the face with Dominic Cruz of Kryolan, Bridal updos with Martin Parsons, Skincare before and after cosmetic surgery with Ann Johnson and the Bullet Proof bride with Kevin James Bennett of Makeup Forever.
Education is the key to staying fresh and current with the changing times and my belief is that one is never too educated and if we learn one new technique, it can be priceless!
Coming into her ninth year with Lipstick N Lashes, Samantha is no stranger to the chignon and has re-created enough pinterest photos that she could probably do it in her sleep! Her experience and talent will put any bride at ease knowing that they will get a beautiful “do” and a fun experience working with Sam.
Elizabeth has a 19 year, deeply rooted work experience in the cosmetic industry. She has worked alongside top Make-Up Artists in both the NYC and Chicago metropolitans and has worked for luxury brands such as: Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, Smashbox, Clinique, Lancome, and with over 250 brands under the Sephora Umbrella. Elizabeth has an ultimate passion for working with bridal clientele and has truly enjoyed sharing her artistry with the beautiful brides of Lipstick N Lashes.

DAILY START includes a special blend of plant-derived phytochemicals that combat the oxidative stress which can accelerate the aging process, help maintain healthy production of hormones, and promote the proper function of enzymes.
Like our popular superfood drinks, All Day Energy Greens and Go Ruby Go, DAILY START contains a proprietary blend of vegetable and fruit powders and extracts plus other natural ingredients geared to help your body help itself so you can continue to lead an active, independent life.
But unlike our superfood drinks, you get a wealth of what your body needs for optimum vigor and vitality in easy-to-swallow tablets. There's nothing to mix or measure. And you can easily take DAILY START tablets with you when you're on the go. So don't miss out on the vibrant life you've always dreamed of.
Even if you take care of yourself ... even if you eat right ... and even if you exercise, there still may be something missing that keeps you from looking and feeling your best—key nutrients that your body can't seem to get enough of.
Most medical professionals and nutritionists agree that the best way to get the nutrients you need is in the foods you eat But it is nigh unto impossible to get everything your body craves from your diet. Why is this?
SOIL DEPLETION. Much of the produce we eat has been grown in overworked soil that has been depleted of minerals.
LONG TRANSPORT TIME. The longer it takes for produce to get to your table, the more nutrients are lost. Fruits and vegetables are often trucked thousands of miles before they even reach your local grocery store.
NUTRIENT EVAPORATION. Most vegetables we eat are cooked. When you see the steam rising from a pot of peas boiling on the stove, you're witnessing some of the rich nutrients escaping .
FACTORY FOOD. The "instant" meals we eat are prepared in a factory with lots of preservatives, artificial flavors, and artificial colors—but less nutrients.
So 'eating right" is easier said than done. DAILY START helps solve this problem. Just three tablets morning and evening help fill the nutritional gaps that may not be provided by what you eat.
Vitamins are essential for life. They help maintain healthy metabolism and aid the biochemical process that produces energy from digested food. Vitamins are coenzymes. As such, they partner with enzymes to support your body's natural processes and functions. Vitamins are considered micronutrients because very small amounts are needed by the body.
Minerals are also essential for proper body function and cellular structure. According to author and Certified Nutritional Consultant, Phyllis Balch*, "Minerals are needed for the proper composition of body fluids, the formation of blood and bones, the maintenance of healthy nerve function, and the regulation of muscle tone."
But as important as vitamins and minerals are, most people simply do not get all they need from their food to enjoy optimum health —and many do not even get the absolute minimum established by the government Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs).
What natural substance have helped millions combat cell damaging free radicals? Antioxidants. These life-saving molecules bind to destructive rogue cells and destroy them before they can cause serious damage.
DAILY START gives you these four antioxidant powerhouses!
Is slowing down and falling apart an inevitable result of getting older? NOT ALWAYS! By fortifying your body with the proper nutrients, it is actually possible to give your body the support it needs to stave off some of the pitfalls of aging.
DAILY START includes these health-helping winners!
Barley Grass Powder • Broccoli Sprout Powder • Chlorella • Cracked Cell Wall Powder • Eluthero Root Extract • Kale Leaf Powder • Lutein • Lycopene • Royal Jelly Powder • Spinach Leaf Powder • Spirulina Algae Powder • Suma Root Extract • Wheat Grass powder.
Far too many Americans suffer from occasional digestive syna complaints.. The probiotics found in DAILY START,when combined with natural digestive enzymes, not only support healthy digestion but help make sure that your body better absorbs the necessary nutrients, not only from every DAILY START tablet, but from all the food you eat as well.
Protease • Cellulase Amylase • Lipase ... PLUS the probiotic strains Bifidobacterium longum • Lactobacillus bulgaricus • Lactobacillus acidophilus • Lactobacillus rhanmosus.
What foods best help neutralize free radicals and prevent oxidative cell destruction,? The superfruits with the highest Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC). This scientific unit of measurement was developed by the National Institutes of Health so you can compare the antioxidant capacity of different foods. As you can see, the natural fruit powders in DAILY START are derived from fruits with whopping ORAC numbers. With DAILY START, you get the antioxidant protection your body needs to fight free radical damage.
Life can be challenging at any age but is even more of an issue when you get older. But does it really have to be? Do you really have to trade an active lifestyle for the rocking chair? Do you have to give up your independence and rely on others to just get by? Do you have to watch your health deteriorate with each passing day? Not if you fight back against Father Time by taking care of yourself.
Many IVL customers have already discovered that they can take charge of their health with DAILY START and experience results that make life worth living again.
Manuel didn't have the energy to enjoy life until he tried DAILY START. Today he's not watching the young follcs jet ski on the lake. He's out there with them!
Shelby is a single mother who got to the point where she just couldn't keep up. Thanks to DAILY START she is now energized!
D. L. felt so sluggish he almost gave up exercising. But DAILY START now has him up every morning and ready to work out!
Cecelia was so stressed out during a lengthy court battle that she felt on the verge of a nervous collapse. DAILY START gave her the energy she needed to change her life for the better.
Will DAILY START give you a new lease on life? Will it give you the spark that's been missing? Will you say goodbye to your "old fogey" complaints that are holding you back? Well, you won't know until you try DAILY START. We're so confident that it will work for you that we guarantee your success. If DAILY START doesn't work for you, it's FREE. You have 00 days to see what a difference it can make in your health and vitality. If it dcesn't treat you to some very positive health benefits, you can get your money back minus any shipping you paid. So what do you have to lose? Absolutely NOTHING! So order your DAILY START today and get ready get off the sidelines and back into the game.
"Still work and play like I did 20 years ago."
"... Boosted my energy, improved my digestion, restored my youthfulness ..."
"DAILY START covers all the vitamins I need—even probiotics ... I stand and move all day at my job. I work with the public and my doctor is amazed how well I am doing and how much energy I have. Girls at work that are half my age do not have half the energy I do."
"Prior to taking Daily Start I felt sluggish and tired all the time ... I considered quitting my exercise program ... Now I get up every morning with no much energy eager to exercise."
"I have tried many brands of a multivitamin that didn't seem to make a difference in my energy level. The day I started taking DAILY START I could tell the difference and now I take it every day without fail. I can tell when I didn't take my DAILY START."
IT’S THE BEST FOR ME!
"I have tried other multivitamin supplements but found DAILY START to be the best for me. It doesn't upset my stomach as one other company's product does. I know I am getting all the vital nutrients I need for the day. DAILY START is a great product."
GOING TO TAKE IT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!
"Over the years I have taken other vitamins but this one seems to contain everything you need. It is all encompassing. I just know I am getting a very good start to my day... This is truly one supplement I hope to take for the rest of my life."
"I would like all to know about DAILY START... I have pep in my step. I no longer drag around; I jet around ..."
"I have been using Daily Start for about a month now and I can feel the difference in my energy level. Thank you."
Suggested Use: Take three (3) capsules daily with food.

text: One of the most apparent byproducts from the war in Liberia is the profusion of issues facing children today. Children who were former child soldiers or displaced during the war have been unable to receive the services they need to return to normalcy. As a result, child are facing abuse, sexual violence and exploitation, forced labor, kidnapping and a lack of basic necessities among other issues. Though each of these issues is considered a major violation of children’s rights and an abuse against children, they often exist in conjunction with other issues. Additionally, there is a cyclical pattern between these issues that make them particularly difficult to address. Since the war, Liberia has been working to develop an infrastructure to formally support child protection. However, the implementation of the policies put in place has not yet fully come to fruition. Many of the gaps exist in the formal structures and their connection to the informal community-based systems. Even the structures that do exist are either difficult to access, or are not trusted by the community. As such, it is necessary that child protection professionals have access to training that is specific to Liberia and its’ needs.

Alzheimer's disease is a devastating neurodegenerative syndrome that afflicts tens of millions of patients worldwide for which no effective therapy or prevention currently exists. Although the disease mechanisms remain elusive, it is clear that the 42 amino acid β-amyloid peptide is of central importance. The present work has combined structural, biochemical and in vivo analyses to uncover a catalytic role for the major synaptic vesicle protein synaptophysin in neurotransmitter release. We have found that this catalytic activity is directly targeted and inhibited by the beta-amyloid peptide causing synaptic dysfunction early in the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The novel method developed to analyze neurotransmitter release kinetics at individual synapses constitutes a significant improvement in sensitivity, accuracy and reproducibility over currently popular methods. Finally, biophysical studies were carried out to isolate and characterize truncated synthetic byproducts of beta-amyloid which inhibit its aggregation dynamics and neurotoxicity, leading to the identification of two candidates showing great promise as therapeutic agents in the fight against Alzheimer's disease.

Since alcohol dehydrates you, the Buzz Button™ is a perfect ingredient because it stimulates salivary glands, keeping your mouth from getting dry and giving you a refreshing hydrated feeling!

Our Herb Flowers Mix varies with the seasons, depending on what is in bloom. Despite their small size, most herb flowers have a concentrated range of flavors.
Edible flowers of herb plants generally have a more intense flavor compared to the leaves and provide an additional dimension of visual enhancement. Basil blossoms are richly aromatic with an intense basil flavor. Lavender flowers are not only beautiful with their soft pastel color and long straight stems, they impart great aromas and a distinctive taste. Chive blossoms have a delicate appearance with a strong chive, oniony flavor. Our mint blossoms are lovely purple and white fluffy blossoms with intense mint and licorice flavors. Rosemary flowers have tiny delicate light blue-ish purple flowers attached to the stems in between the needles, and have a concentrated rosemary flavor. Cilantro flowers are tiny white flowers with a potent cilantro flavor. Dill flowers are clusters of tiny bright yellow flowers on thin green stems. They have a concentrated very sweet Dill taste and aroma. Fennel flowers look just like Dill flowers, but have an unmistakable sweet licorice flavor. Thyme flowers are very tiny with a delicate appearance, but have huge flavor. Stevia flowers are white and of course, super sweet. The Herb Flowers are also available separately instead of mixed. We are continually adding different varieties to our selection of flowering herbs. Herb flowers allow chefs to get creative with their flavor additions!
