—The photographer's style for sure. I have encountered many couples who simply ask for a quote without even checking the photographers' websites, and for me that is insane and quite frankly disrespectful for the photographers. Being chosen for a cheap quote is not the right way of choosing a photographer, especially when one considers that the wedding will happen only once and the photographer has no other time to re-take shots. So couples please, visit the photographers' websites, browse through them carefully, get to know your photographer. Useless hiring someone who's work you like, and then when you meet them, you do not connect. You have to connect with the photographer since he/she will be with you all the day on your wedding day!
—I started working 7 years ago in weddings and not out of choice. A gentleman contacted me after a common friend recommended me. I had not done a wedding yet so I was reluctant to accept to shoot his wedding. This client did not take no for an answer but gave me a couple of days to think about it. I did my utmost to recommend others, to get away from it, but it was all futile, this client wanted me. So there I was all shaky on the wedding day, not knowing what to do. Once I got to the bride then, I somehow flowed and instinctively knew what to do. I haven't stopped since, and I am grateful for this client to have shown such trust in my capabilities because it was the start of my wedding photography!
—Since a young age I was trained to accept criticism since one stands to learn. At first I found it tough to take criticism in, because each and every photo was my 'baby'. Nowadays I am better able to accept criticism, and realised its ok if people do not like your style, since there will be others who will. You can't please everyone in life and that is ok too. Focus on the good stuff I say and recognize which battles to loose to win the war. So critique is always welcome. I stand to always gain!
—No. I don't do weddings only. I am currently reading an MA in Cultural Heritage and in my thesis I am researching how photography can capture the spirit of a place (not about ghosts). So my research has lead me to fall in love with places. My fave genre is actually street photography and photographing places.
—Love. Plain and simple, its love that brings me joy. Not only the love which I witness in front of my eyes from my clients, but the sheer joy I feel when I capture these treasured once in a lifetime moments. Wedding Photography is tough, but if you flow with it, you get the greatest joys too!
—By looking at other photographers' work and doing workshops by said photographers. They inspire me to get out of my comfort zone and try other things, and make them my way by inputting my personal style in the image making.
—I suppose what makes weddings different than other genres is the fact that it happens once, you can't rewind therefore your shots have to be great since you can't re-shoot. Not only that, one has to also be a people's person and be able to mix and be friendly with the couple and guests, as well as be focused to get the right shots. There is a lot of dirty work in wedding photography which few people appreciate. The sheer stress of driving and finding parking, the backing up of work, the equipment which can fail, thus you have to have a back up...ultimately the finished product has to reflect the day too.
—What makes you continue shooting?
—My love for the mundane and my country's culture makes me want to keep on shooting forever. I can shoot the same street over and over again. Life happens, so there are many different photos happening at the same time too.
—Since I started 7 years ago, weddings have evolved considerably with more and more things to attract clients. Photography changes too. Photographers try new styles, have better equipment to work with, nowadays wedding couples even order a drone for their big day....that surely is one to mention. I suppose in the future it will be more and more of this. Thus I just keep working on myself and my photography, so I keep evolving my style and not remain stuck in the early 2000s, but move along with the years to be better able to give what my clients deserve!
—It all depends on the photographer's way of shooting. If a photographer follows a traditional way then the photos will show mainly the wedding. However it is always interesting to shoot other aspects of the day like for eg; the cat at the bride's house lounging in the flower box, the venue decorated and how it looks from afar. All these photos will be appreciated by the couple since they would have thought about these tiny details too, and would love to see that their thoughts did not go to waste.
—During weddings, the absolute unacceptable is having someone else shooting with professional gear without asking your permission or at least letting you know that they wish to shoot the event too.
—Become friends with a professional photographer and be willing to learn even without shooting, that is, even to just carry around the photographer's stuff. Respect others, they have more experience from you, so you stand to learn if you are open to learn.
Stop being a know it all. You won't learn that way. You learn by doing the hard work, the dirty work behind shooting weddings and ultimately gain the trust of the professional photographer and start shooting slowly slowly.
Like is for teenagers and for those who want to influence social media.
Respect you have to earn it, and behind that there is a lot of hard work!
—Jonas Peterson. I admire his work, and follow this wedding photographer constantly. I wish to be his second shooter one day!
—What would you prefer to change around you?
—Reduce traffic. Stop over development. Allow for more nature around the towns we live in.
—What key message are you trying to convey with your pictures?
—Simple life can be extraordinary!

Tale of A Baseball Dream is the fictitious story of Dusty Hunter, a young boy that grew up with a love to play baseball. Dusty was small in stature, but proved to have a “big heart,” as he overcame many obstacles and disappointments, in his efforts to become a great baseball player.
When Dusty’s dream appeared that it would end in disappointment, Dusty tromped through the mud to the baseball field where he and his dad had spent many days practicing, and in all of his anger and frustrations, he proceeded to toss baseballs in the air and began hitting them with a vengeance.
By fate, destiny, or miracle, Will Parker, an elderly professional scout for the New Jersey Force baseball team, happened to almost get knocked down by a ball that Dusty hit! Will Parker was only there that day, by the coincidence that he had boarded the wrong flight, and was completely lost.
Mr. Parker was nearing retirement, and had previously been thought of as a “failure,” since he had never discovered a star player for the New Jersey Force.
Tale of A Baseball Dream evolves into a magical tale which will inspire all young readers!

When we initially signed the contract we were told that even though this is a short sale it will NOT take a long time and the process was going to be very smooth.
It has been over three months and we have yet to get a closing date.
We had to sign an extension to the contract stating by July 01, we will get a closing date.
Now July 3, 2013 I was notified by my agent that the seller’s bank is going to put the house that we have been patiently waiting for in hubbiz.com and upload the current offer!!!!!!
At this point not only my patient ran out but I’m also extremely furious about this deal and the lack of professionalism. I have never been in a situation like this and done business with people who are out of touch and not aware of the process we are going through.
We have a binding contract, not only we should have closed the deal right now but this house should NOT be on hubbiz. com , this is illegal because it’s already under contact since March.
Sorry this has happened to you, there should have been better communication before. Owen can certainly be difficult, and you probably don't know who actually owns the loan(the investor). But, it's not illegal, regardless of your contract with the seller, the shorted lender can impose whatever process they wish, in order to grant the short sale approval. I assume you meant HUBZU.com, which I'm more familiar with for REO properties.
My best suggestion is to look for a different property, or work with the procedures they're giving you now, as unfair and frustrating as that may seem to you right now.
They will receive offers from everyone, and likely go with the strongest offer, as to price and financing contingencies, all cash, etc. they may leave it open for offers for 30 days or so. The listing agent should know what their exact guidelines are.
Tara, I agree with you. In Colorado, it IS illegal for a seller to sign a second contract when they are already under contract on a property so if they list it on Hubzu.com then they offering it for sale when they legally can not. NOW that being said, I'm NOT a lawyer... However, the reality is that if the seller does NOT follow the directions of the bank then they will simply move forward with the foreclosure auction and then the bank will most likely own it and will be able to do what they want.
Personally, I feel very strongly that we ALL (buyers, sellers, agents, brokers, and friends of these) need to take a stand and start doing things like ALL calling these organizations on the same day and letting them know that these tactics are a form of duress and forcing sellers to proceed in a manner that would never be tolerated in a normal transaction.
There are a LOT of things that the lenders are doing that is just wrong. I think we need to start to unify and stand together over these kinds of issues so they know that the public and their customer base is NOT happy with the way they flaunt the laws, rules and ethics. I have known those who have had success with these types of tactics. 200 people tying up their phone lines, sending emails, faxes, letters and any thing else they can think of WILL make a difference.
I wish you the best and let me know if you want to make some noise. I am tired of being put over a barrel by these giants who think that they can do what they want and hurt sellers and the agents that are just trying to get the deal done.
You may want to talk to an attorney and see if you have recourse against the seller if they sign a second contract. A well worded letter from an attorney MAY help get the bank's attention.
I agree with Harry. Probably one of two things is happening, Ocwen is crazy OR the offer is to low. We all know Ocwen can be difficult, especially because for some reason (in my experience) they do not counter an offer. They decline the deal and indicate "the offer is to low". They really won't say how much they want.
The problem with giving this buyer advise is we have no idea if their contract is "low ball", if the listing agent listed the house "low ball" and the buyer wrote an offer full price on a low list price etc...we don't know the details, so that makes it difficult to give the buyer advise. The buyers agent can easily conduct a market analysis and let them know how "below market" the offer is. If the contract price is well below market value then the buyer needs to increase the offer immediately or move on.
Finally Tara, if you think your offer is "fair" I would suggest you immediately pay for a private appraisal. I AM DOING THIS RIGHT NOW WITH OCWEN. Guess what...I had to increase the sales price $30K based on my own appraisal and put the house back up for sale. The house sat there alone and lonely for another 45 days and now another buyer has stepped up and made another offer. I have resubmitted the new contract, hud-1, and APPRAISAL to Ocwen. We are about 35 days into this new deal and Ocwen has the offer in front of the investor for final review.
Finally, whom ever told you in the beginning that this would be a quick or easy process obviously has not been involved with many short sales. I am positive there are provisions in your contract that would allow you to walk away at any time. In Virginia there are also provisions that protect the seller. You have a "contract" on a short sale. Somewhere in that contract it states the seller must obtain lender approval or the contract is void. If I were the LISTING agent, I would counter your offer price immediately and stop messing around. At that point you can increase the offer or walk away...and so can the seller. If you don't agree to the counter, the seller can go back on the market at a higher price and move on.
Increase your offer or cut bait. Sorry but that is my advise.
Just spoke to my agent he said the listing agent should NOT put the house on hubzu and in fact in my contract is stated the seller can NOT accept any offers while this contract is open. I'm not sure who put the information on hubzu, but I think I have a case..
I just closed a recent Ocwen short sale.
This lender has a unique process. Ocwen did not assign the file to a single human reviewer and no Ocwen person’s name was ever published or verbalized during the submission review process.
This file processed electronically from India.
1. Once they confirmed complete doc inventory and registration, their process moved rather quickly. We acquired written approval 7 days later. We acquired a reduction revision to the dollar amount disbursement to that approval in less than 7 days and then we acquired a necessary closing date extension within 7 days of that additional request.
2. Their e-mail “missing doc” letter communication is very confusing. They write those using inadequate single sentences and require a telephone call for clarification.
3. When calling them they are very difficult to understand and are very sensitive to accusations of not being able to speak English. Be prepared to make these statements, “PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH”, “PLEASE put someone on the phone that can speak English”, “HOW do I file a complaint because you cannot speak English?” They responded immediately to those phrases and we got the deal done.
It was a difficult communication however, I felt they were doing everything they could to accommodate, and their turn times for typical issues were lightning fast compared to most lenders.
RaHul 'the closer" and I are now buddies.
At least RaHul was a "name". All of my communications with Ocwen are to HRD176 or HRD195 or HRD167....they appear to give them a name that begins with HRD and a number. Don't know why they do this :) but yes, they are negotiating the deal from India.
YES lots of HRDXXX email addresses.
Rahul actually called me direct about 1 week before closing and shepherded this file through Final HUD1 approval process then he even called me 24 hours after closing making sure all was done and that the seller was satisfied.
I believe the important issue when dealing with this lender is calling them for clarification after receiving any HRDXXX emails or letters.
Not only is their spoken English bad their written English is even more confusing.
My overall opinion of this lender was a POSITIVE EXPERIENCE. Things were confusing but they clarified and corrected quickly.
Welcome to short sales. It is never fast and ABSOLUTELY NEVER SMOOTH. First, I hope that you do NOT have a binding contract and that it states in it that it is "subject to bank approval." Without this clause, the seller could be at risk of default. Secondly, if you are the homeowner, you can call OCWEN. Contact the LOSS MITIGATION DEPT.
Keep in mind that you are asking the bank to forgive debt. This is never simple and the process is neither logical nor helpful. They don't invest a lot of money in losing money.
Also, The homeowner should be able to put the property on HUBBIZ.com. Just don't mention the listing agency.
Unfortunately a lot of the banks are picking up on this trend. Most short sales with Nation Start are now being placed on auction.com immediately after initiation to ensure they aren't getting low balled. Banks can do this because you don't technically have a binding contract until the bank accepts a short sale. We have to remember that once a homeowner defaults the bank becomes a principle in the sale per the original note language. I'd try to find a way to show that you're offer is stronger despite the bottom line. Just because an offer comes in higher doesn't make it stronger.
I just faced this but with Auction.com and am still working on the actual legalities of it all. In California we have agency and when this happens there is a complete intrusion of the existing agency relationship between the seller/broker. It clearly states in the listing contract that there are NO other listing contracts or obligations and when the bank does this it now creates a conflicting agency relationship and I believe legally would create some huge issue if trouble arose and eventually it will. That being said this is the STUPIDEST thing banks are doing. They are so stupid because they are virtually ( in California anyways) eliminating almost 90% of the perspective buyers pool. I know auction.com charges a 5% "buyers" premium and says point blank in their propaganda that they will not pay ANY buyers closing cost ( ie.. credit to buyers closing cost). Now since in our area roughly 80-90% of buyers are using government financing (FHA,USDA,VA or Cal Vet) they are forbidden from paying ANY 3rd party fees ( I have quadruple checked with many local lenders and the 5% buyer premium qualifies as a 3rd party fee) which means that not one of these buyers can even bid on the place. On top of that, most buyers are asking for some sort of seller credit to cover closing cost which under auction.com is not allowed. So now the banks have truly eliminated the pool of eligible buyers and all they have left are "conventional" buyers and investors and as ANY person with knowledge knows, INVESTORS NEVER PAY RETAIL!!!! Conventional buyers are going to be reluctant to pay an additional 5% ON TOP of their offer price. This thing stinks from every angle and as long as we continue to say "the banks can do whatever they want...." they are going to do it. Yes they are taking a loss, news flash everybody, they are getting our TAX dollars to cover their losses in many cases so in fact, they are not taking the loss. I have brought this up to the Cal Bureau of Real Estate and CAR/NAR and so far their heads are up their collective dark spots. It is eroding our position is the business and we are allowing it.

So it’s almost 11 am and I’m siting here just now eating a healthy breakfast of frozen blueberry waffles and coffee. I have my 3 1/2 month old son in my lap watching me type because he screams anytime I try to set him down and was fighting to get out of the wrap I had him in. This is a daily occurrence. My husband asked on his way out the door this morning if I could try and do a load of laundry today so that the jeans he needs for an event tomorrow night would be washed. I smiled and shook my head yes through my sleepy fog. Little did he know that laundry was already on my to-do list for the day. It’s on my list every day. Along with cleaning the kitchen, then getting it dirty again from making dinner, sweeping the floors, cleaning the bathrooms, and clearing off the dining room and coffee tables that are both ALWAYS covered in crap. Not literally of course (although it wouldn’t be surprising to find a dirty diaper or two from time to time) but mail, empty bottles, and Christmas decor I haven’t found a “place” for which will inevitably just get moved to some other table in some other room.
Y’all, I’m not a super clean person. I never have been but when I got married something in me switched and all of a sudden those 4 am set daily cleaning schedule genes I must have inherited from my mother came screaming out. I cringed every time Adam wanted to throw a get together. I compare my house to our friends which are always pristine when we walk in, where everything has a home and they have no clutter (how is this even possible!). I dream of having a beautiful, sleek Joanna Gaines home and I try, I seriously try to organize and clear out what we don’t need but my home will likely never get there. Besides the housework that never gets done and seems to multiply by the minute, I’ve been needing to cut little one’s nails for the past week. I’ve got every intention to do that when he falls asleep but here’s what happens. He finally goes down for his nap and I need to shower, then he wakes up before I’m done getting dressed. So I say ‘next nap’ and when that finally comes then it’s time to eat something myself before I forget yet again or take the opportunity to clean something and before I know it it’s time to put him to bed and I’ve plum forgotten entirely and honestly ready to just have some me time and the cycle starts all over again the next day.
I’m writing this post today because it has weighed heavily on my life, my marriage and now my parenting; this feeling of inadequacy. I thought the first week home with Myles was trying but this week something came over me and I feel just like I did that week, only with a little more sleep. I feel like I’m failing. So many moms seem to have it together. They get up, go to work, come home, make dinner, play with & teach their child or children, clean the house and then go to sleep and get up and do it all over again. Other moms are up and looking fab by 8 and taking their babies out for walks and play dates, going to lunches or the zoo. Why can’t I be that way? Why is it so hard for me to pull myself out of bed by 9 am? Why do I feel this constant desire to just sit? Why when it comes time to leave for the meetup I signed up for last week I have this overwhelming desire to just say nevermind? Maybe this really wasn’t the life I was meant to live. That’s a really hard feeling to live with and a really hard thing to say out loud. Like I love being a mother. That boy is the best thing I have ever done, ever! But sometimes I struggle to believe that I’m loving enough or doing a good enough job. Sometimes I just can’t entertain my little prince as bad as that sounds. Sometimes, I just need a break. I am tired. Tired of talking constantly, showing something constantly, singing constantly so much that this past week I have barely “taught” my child anything. We’ve barely talked and I feel like such a bad mother. Last week was such a welcome relief to have my parents here to entertain him most of the day so I could just honestly sit without feeling guilty. I strongly believe kids need limited screen time but you guys, these kids shows are going to be a lifesaver. In fact, it’s allowing me to sit here right now and type part of this post and I don’t feel one bit guilty about that. Myles seems to enjoy it and he’s learning about animals and sounds. Win-win! The whole point of this post though is to explain that I don’t believe anything is wrong with me. And nothing is wrong with you either if these feelings creep into your mind and heart. As I laid in bed and silently cried on Tuesday I woke up yesterday and looked around and realized why do I care? Why do I care so much what my house looks likes. Why do I care how much junk I have compared to others and why do I feel the need to have it together? Why do I care if Myles still can’t roll over and doesn’t have a schedule like all these other I got this moms babies do? My husband doesn’t seem to care that the bathroom still hasn’t been cleaned or that the floors look like Christmas has been shedding it’s piney pieces all year. And quite frankly if it bothered him enough, he can clean it himself! (Doubtful but still praying this may don on him one day) So I’m done caring that there is junk in the corners of every room. Done caring that my throw pillows don’t match and that I have plastic containers to house all my I’ll get to it one day things. That my laundry is still sitting in baskets and will probably never get officially put away.
I did it hubby! They may not get folded but a load is clean!
So to all you mothers out there that are barely keeping it together. I am you. To the mommas and dadas that have a sink full of yesterdays dishes and a washer full of last week’s laundry (it happens), yeah you. Look at that tiny little babe half sleeping in the rocker or screaming on that play mat. Did you look? That baby is pretty dang cute and sure looks pretty alive. Did that toothless (or maybe semi toothless) grin get ya? It should. That babe thinks you are the bees knees, messy house and all.

If you’re following me or Lou or the general MySciCareer account on various social media, you’ll have seen that we’ve steadily been updating the site over the past year and a half with more career stories. We now have more than 60 science career stories, and continue to look for more.
I also just got the bill to pay for the next two years of the “MySciCareer.com” domain name, which I paid, but it reminded me about something else we had been planning to put on the site. A donation button.
We have been paying for MySciCareer out of our own pockets this entire time. It doesn’t cost very much to grab a domain name, we got free hosting via a friend of Lou’s for one year, and the site is currently taking up space on the same hosting plan I have for easternblot. That’s fine for now, but if either MySciCareer or easternblot.net suddenly gets more popular, I will have to pay extra for bandwidth.
Then there are our other plans: We’ve had a lot of praise from people who work within universities to provide their graduate students with realistic career advice. We’d like to be able to produce some print material that they can hand out (postcards with some of the quotes, perhaps?). That costs money as well.
So if you love MySciCareer as much as we do, you can now show your support in a monetary way. There’s a donation button on the site, where you can enter your own amount. Nothing is too small for us, and we’d be over the moon if you could help us at least cover the small costs we’ve already incurred this year.
We won’t make any profit off this – all money raised goes directly into the maintenance and promotion of MySciCareer, and ultimately benefits science students (and potential students, and grad students, and postdocs…) who are unsure about their futures. We don’t have registered non-profit status so we can’t give you a tax break on your donation, but PayPal has restrictions in place for the donation button (which can only be used for charitable causes), so you can be assured that we will comply with their guidelines.
Any suggestions or questions – leave a comment below.
Any spare change – leave that on the MySciCareer donation page.
On behalf of the MySciCareer team, and all the readers of the site, thank you!!

I made some final changes after looking at some things. Lock em' in.
I'll play this year. These are all stocks I actually own so I hope this goes well.
Edit: Also, big thanks to being willing to do this again!
Just curious why Jan 4?
The winner will be entitled to one year of free membership to TigerDroppings.com. as long as this site's owners don't charge a fee to be a member of it.
I didn't know that this was serious contest with a real valuable prize.
I'm in but I have to give this some thought.
It’s just 3 trading days into the year and gives any procrastinators recovering from the year end holidays one last chance to join in.
We waited too long, imo, this current contest (2018) to stop taking entrants and it resulted in some late picks that were already up big before the deadline came.
Would you prefer a different deadline?
For everyone who signed up this evening, I’ll add you to my spreadsheet tomorrow morning when I’m back at my computer. I’ll upvote your posts when I add your name so you’ll know you’re in.
I’ll post a complete list of everyone participating showing each person’s picks (for you to check for data errors on my part) when we get close to the deadline date.
I was the procrastinator this year so I can’t vote against that.
Performance should all start on the same day, the following Monday open.
In a perfect world, you’re right.
The problem is I use MorningStar.com to provide the YTD performance percent which I export into my Excel spreadsheet and that’s what it is.......YTD. I don’t see an option for “January 7 to-date” performance.
The only option would be make the deadline January 1, 2019 so YTD performance begins the next day which would be the first trading day of 2019.
Big implications here with you giving out free TD memberships. Let’s get it right.
The motion to move the deadline for participating in our World Famous Stock Pick 'em Contest to January 1 has been made and seconded.
Hearing no objections, the motion carries.
January 1 is now the deadline for joining our contest.

Why is the push up a star in the training world? What does it have that other exercises don’t? Let’s break it down!
The push-up is a fundamental bodyweight strength movement for the upper body and core. It can be performed anywhere, and has many variations. Many exercisers still perform this movement incorrectly, however. It’s also surprising how many regular participants in group classes also perform the push-up poorly.
The cause of low quality push-ups? Most often, people in training sessions or classes are shooting for reps, instead of quality form. And because the push-up is viewed as a “simple” or “basic” exercise, these exercisers are probably mentally checked out; they’re going the motions instead of being focused on and in their bodies.
Set the blueprint in your mind. This means to get your mind prepared for the challenge. Commit mentally to doing your push-up with quality form and energy.
Set your hands in line with your chest, with your fingers spread and hands grounded to the floor. Your hands will end up in what’s called the “scapular plane,” and I prefer them about three inches from the body.
Initiate the movement by bending the elbows but immediately loading in to the pectoral muscles of the chest. Focus on that chest stretch from the start.
Your core has to remain in a plank position as you perform the exercise.
Your neck remains in neutral position, with your eyes looking at the ground.
Inhale on the way down, and exhale on the way up.
Sense the integration of the chest, shoulders, triceps and even back and biceps working to decelerate your body as you start your push-up. Your core is strong and you are off and running!
Your new technique will most likely “feel” more challenging, because you may have been positioning your hands too high or too close together, and not loading enough into your pecs.
Enjoy your new high-quality push-ups!

Mold can be found anywhere in your house starting with the air you breathe all the way to the surfaces of walls, clothing, furniture, and more. Typically, mold spores come from the outside and figure out how to make their way into your lovely clean home. It’s important to keep up with regular cleaning around the obvious places like showers, bathrooms, kitchen areas, under the sinks, etc.
When should you get worried about having too much mold in your home? Big mold issues tend to happen when there is an on-going water running issue. Even the smallest of leaks can create huge mold issues. We see it all the time when residents ask us to inspect a potential problem.
Big ol’ mold infestations are caused by on-going water leaks, areas where there is high humidity, any place that had a flood, and anywhere there is standing water.
Owner of Core Pro Services, Tim Webster says, “you need to be very careful after there is a flood in your home. Water seeps in the most inconspicuous places and can cause terror to your home and your family’s health. The best thing to do when you have a leak is to call the plumber and get it fixed. Then, call a company like ours that can thoroughly remove all the moisture, so your home is safe from significant damage down the road, and your family is safe by not breathing in those terrible mold spores.
Mold will quickly seep into everything. It seeps into your carpets, clothing, behind the walls, into your insulation, into the wood, into your furniture, into your beds, and into your cupboards. Gross right!
Over time, this damage is costly and very difficult to mitigate.
Health issues from the mold in your home stir up allergies, sickness, increases infections and can create major respiratory problems.
Here are a few quick ways to keep moisture down and keep your home safety up.
1. Keep all bathrooms and any area that uses water vented to the outside to keep the environment dry.
2. Keep all the home air-conditioning vents open and clear from blockage. It’s always a good idea to get your home vents cleaned 1-2 times a year.
3. If you have a basement, it’s still a good idea to install a dehumidifier. This will keep the area dry.
4. Sounds simple, but used your bathroom exhaust fan when taking a shower. We see many many attic mold issues from showers that either vent incorrectly or families that don’t use the vent when showering. Usually, the shower will produce too much moister for the small bathrooms which makes this a breeding ground for mold.
5. Use insulation around cold pipes. This will keep them from dripping in the Summertime.
6. It’s always a good idea to install a moisture sensor in basement areas that don’t ever see regular traffic.
We hope these tips will help you and your family live in a safe, mold-free environment!
If you have flooding or emergency water issue, we are always willing to help. Just call our 24hr service hotline, and we’ll quickly run to the rescue!

27 issues you will find when you create your own website - Illusive Design Inc.
In today’s dynamic business culture, it is crucial for every company to establish an efficient system of storing data. Firms need to come up with cost effective ways of managing their information and incorporate processes which will combine speed and reliability. For this purpose, many firms are now switching to the practice of cloud computing.
What is cloud computing you may ask? In basic terms, cloud computing involves using a collection of remote servers over the internet to store and process data. The difference in value is that the data is not stored by the computer’s own hardware but is maintained by some other firm which has been paid to do so. For companies, cloud computing is a new and growing trend as it enables them to use the technology offered by specialized firms and reduces cyber security issues.
Cloud computing is however undesirable to many businesses and there are several firms out there who prefer to manage their own security systems. Likewise, many individuals also prefer designing their own website. Firms can put it on themselves to develop their own business sites.
Websites need specific HTML programming in order to even be of a basic type. HTML programming is often complex and the fancier the website gets, the harder the programming will be.
Without professional guidance, a site might end up being unstructured. In this scenario, what often happens is that a customer might be looking for specific information and if the site has not been designed to maneuver throughout the net with proper links, the page might end up denying the customer that information and will force them to shift to other sites.
When customers use search engines to look for pages, correctly designed websites with appropriate TAGS will work to place the website at the top of the search options. This is a technical process often overlooked by non-professionals. If a website is not optimized with a search engine, the customer will not even see the choice of the website for information.
Building a functional, sophisticated website needs time and effort and businesses would be wise to hire specialized individuals rather than waste human resource. Businesses should focus on other aspects such as production, marketing, accounts, etc so not to hinder the development in these departments.
Once a major mistake is made in designing the website, it is very difficult to reverse the process and fix the mistake. The mistake might not be realized until much later and by then, repairing it might be expensive or even impossible.
A website needs to be constantly revamped in order to keep customers interested. Thus building a website is not a time-constrained process, it needs to be constantly evaluated and updated.
A website needs to have distinct hyperlinks in order for customers to be able to switch to the information they are looking for quickly. In this case, a hyperlink must be easy to decipher. While building a website, many forget to either install hyperlinks or to make it the optimal size.
Websites contain heaps of information and often need to be divided into several pages. Lack of pagination might end up making the website heavy & cluttered, reducing ease of navigation in the process.
Many a times the title of a website is not give much thought to and firms end up titling the website as per their company name. Choosing the title correctly is crucial as the title is the first thing that will link the website to words put by customers in their search engines.
It is important to put all of the information in proper sequence so the visitor knows where to go from what. Putting relevant information next to each other is key to making an organized and hassle-free website and this process requires expertise and planning.
Websites need to have some form of contact address or phone number so the visitor knows where to go for further information. This is a form of customer service which the customers value and need to be put in such a way that the visitor instantly knows where to go in case they want to contact the authorities.
Quick service is key to many individuals and websites must incorporate a search engine so the visitor can jump to the information they are looking for. Search boxes should be a priority to whoever is designing the website, not an aspect that is easy to establish.
For websites that require member registration, it must be made sure that the registration form is of optimal size, which means long enough to acquire all the information and short enough to keep the customer engaged.
A website must be themed in a way that every page or function reminds the visitor of the overall theme of the source they are visiting. Incorporating this theme in every page or content is a creative and complex process.
Websites might also contain links to other sites and often these sites might cease existing. In such cases these links need to be carefully vetted and replaced.
Due to the wider use of devices such as smart phones and tablets, individuals will not be visiting the site from one particular device. So nowadays, websites need to be configured to make them viewable from any device chosen by the visitor.
Different search engines are programmed to display data in different ways. The audience will be visiting the website from many different browsers and the designer needs to make sure that every browser displays the website in the same way.
Keeping in mind the presence of multiple smart devices available to users, the website developer has to program the display of images in a way that every device shows the image in the optimal resolution.
A webpage needs to have the perfect balance between moving and still elements. If a website has too many moving elements it will create confusion and if it contains too many static elements, the viewer might feel bored.
Just designing the site is not enough; the developer must also create security settings to save the site from being hacked. Information online is privy to cyber crime and the developers must secure their domain to keep out hackers.
Designers must ensure that their site is the perfect mix of simple and complex. Extremely basic pages will not draw attention and extremely complex pages will discourage those who prefer simplicity. So designers need to structure the site in a way that it appeals to a larger proportion of people and can satisfy their cognitive needs.
Websites need to have usable aspects in order to make customers comfortable. This might include ability to bookmark the page, copying the website link, printing options, emailing the link, etc.
As the internet is filled with uncountable websites, it should be of prime importance that your website does not mimic the competitors. If the themes, fonts, widgets etc are too similar to any other well established website, customers might not find anything new or interesting.
When a website is initially designed, the developers must keep in mind that in a certain period of time, the website will need to be upgraded. This is because, due to programming issues, many websites break down after an upgrade and cease to stop functioning.
Often a lack of underlining important information concerning the overall subject of the website can have a negative effect on the visitors and too much struggle to find the core purpose of the site will discourage repeat exposure.
Registering domain names, taking permission to feature contents, acquiring trademarks or copyrights for websites can be a lengthy process, slowing down the progress of site development. Often, a delay in one process might slow down all other processes as well.
The biggest concern to website developers is to decide which type of content would be the most eye-catching to visitors, what kind of content will keep them engaged to the page and obtain higher page traffic.

text: Insects of all kinds abound in the Preserve, living on and off the plants, or eating other insects and trying to avoid being eaten. Because they are small, insects are easy to overlook, but if you observe a plant for a few minutes, you are bound to see them. Some, like spiders, stay motionless for long periods, on the ready for prey caught in their webs, others are squirming in masses on lush leaves, like tiger moths larvae, to confuse and ensure that some of them will survive, even though many might be eaten. Then there are those who are camouflaged and stay motionless for periods, like grasshoppers, avoiding their predators when at rest. Others present a constantly moving target, like monarchs, hardly ever resting. Still others, like the soldier beetle or milkweed bugs, are pretty sure they aren't very tasty or healthy for anyone and hop around freely. Still others are too fast, like dragonflies, or have other defenses that deter predators.

An antibiotic should always be the “last” line of defense against an illness – never the first. To truly protect ourselves, we need to bolster our own immunity with natural products that the body is designed to consume anyway. Unlike man-made drugs, infectious agents cannot withstand an attack from this God-given defense. But in order to get your immunity working seamlessly (as it’s meant to do naturally), you must give it the proper fuel. That’s why I created Immune FX.
For the last 4 years, I’ve been working on bringing you the world’s most potent, all-natural immune booster. With biological nasties everywhere, Immune FX is your best weapon against all types of infection – because it works with your immune system, not against it.
"I am 64 years young. My first experience with fall allergies was when I was pregnant with my first child at 23. Until the first frost every year I was miserable with bad allergy symptoms which always ended in a continuous sinus infection until we had the first frost. I trusted doctors and took all the prescribed antibiotics and medications they recommended and endured until winter. I am now very allergic to most antibiotics because of all the treatments. In the last ten years the sinus infections changed to Asthma. This was a whole new ball game. When you can't breath it is a bit scary so again I listened to the doctors and did what they prescribed. DRUGS!
As I have become older and wiser, I have become more conscience of my health and lost a lot of the trust in the Medical Profession. I have looked for other sources to stay healthy. I have been taking vitamins, eating healthier and reading to see what other choices I had.
My sister, Elizabeth and I are on an ongoing quest to stay healthy and young. This fall, which has been an especially long one all my symptoms returned. I was back to breathing treatments, fear and other drugs. Elizabeth had been reading Shane's books and told me she was sending me something called Immune FX that she wanted me to try.
Immunity threats are everywhere…it’s disgusting, actually. A single gram of feces can contain more than 10 million viruses, 1 million bacteria, 1,000 parasite cysts and 100 parasite eggs. Our world is a breeding ground for illness. But you don’t have to be a victim to this fact. Instead, you can minimize the everyday risk of infection by strengthening your immunity, naturally.
But in order to activate these sentinels, we need to supply the body with high-quality fuel derived from natural products to feed and nourish our very complex immune system. Decades of science show that the active ingredients in Immune FX are the true answer for harnessing the protective power of this ultra-potent, anti-infection machine.
Immune FX provides two potent immune activators found in nature – andrographis paniculata and coriander. Together, they put immune activity into overdrive to favor eradication of foreign invaders.
For the first time ever, it’s potency has been raised by combining it with coriander. Not only does this act as a heavy metal magnet and pull toxins from the body, but it also serves as nature’s vitamin C. A well known asset in immunity, naturally occurring vitamin C is far superior than commercial source, known as ascorbic acid.
Unlike anything else available today, Immune FX doesn’t have any lab-derived vitamin mimics like vitamin D or folic acid. Even better, it’s many times stronger than common flim-flam such as Echinacea.
Nature's Antibiotic and Allergy Relief LOW STOCK ALERT!
Immune FX is perfect for children who are exposed to a wide range of infectious agents, such as those within the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). With this in mind, I recently volunteered to speak to LAUSD students.
I wanted to help them better understand their immune system and how it can protect them. Not only did I teach 4th and 5th graders about healthy habits, but I also explained how natural medicine, over vaccines, can offer protection against childhood illness. With such powerful science supporting it, everyone deserves to know about bolstering natural immunity, without having to risk side-effects common to drugs and vaccines.
A scientific analysis of similar products showed that very few offer the full spectrum of ingredients required to provide any protection. Therefore, as a medicinal chemist for over 20 years, I perfected the cultivation and encapsulation methods of both andrographis paniculata and coriander. The final product – Immune FX – is verifiably the most effective and powerful immunity aid on the market.
So, are you ready to feed your immune system exactly what it needs to keep you safe and healthy all year round? Order Immune FX now, so you can be 100% protected.
1. What would I take Immune FX for?
You can take Immune FX to treat ﬂu, strep throat, pneumonia, the common cold and most any skin infection (along with appropriate topical ointments).
2. How often do I take Immune FX?
You can take it daily, unless you’re trying to become pregnant or are currently pregnant.
3. Can I take Immune FX if I’m breastfeeding?
Yes, it is 100% safe and effective for mom to take. Indirectly, this will help babies’ immune system, too.
4. Can I take it for allergies?
Yes. Many people have found that their air-born allergies are much easier to manage with Immune FX. Unlike common medications, it helps remove biological nasties and works with the body’s own natural defenses, without suppressing other functions.
5. The usage on the bottle says to take 1-2 capsules twice daily to ﬁght infection. So does that mean that along with everything else, now I have to take another supplement every day?
No. You only need to take Immune FX when you are trying to ﬁght off infection. It is not intended to be taken daily as a regular supplement. Generally, children would take the smaller dose and adults, the larger.
6. How will I know if I need to take more?
As your body’s immune response kicks into a higher gear, you should start to feel better within a day or two. The natural ingredients in Immune FX can help to remove “biological nasties” from your body, so you spend less time feeling sick and more time living young. If you feel dehydrated or have a dry mouth, you took too much.
7. Can I take this if I am pregnant?
8. Is there anything else I should do in conjunction with taking Immune FX?
Yes. There is a whole chapter dedicated to overcoming illness safely and naturally in the award-winning book, Over-The-Counter Natural Cures. You should buy it and read it. Be sure to apply everything laid out in that chapter. There are some simple, but powerful, steps to follow so you can avoid antibiotics.
9. Can I take Immune FX with medication?
10. What is the difference between Relief FX, Joint FX and Immune FX?
Relief FX is the most potent, non-toxic, natural pain killer available. It’s safe enough for children, yet strong enough for the NFL.
Joint FX is a non-toxic, natural blend for those suffering from joint pain and stiffness. By helping the body rebuild cartilage, it relieves joint pain.
Immune FX helps the immune system overcome illness by helping to rid the body of “biological nasties.” It will not soothe pain and it should NOT be taken as a preventive measure. It is to be taken only when ill or suffering from allergies.
For more information on how to prevent illness, live healthier & feel younger than you’ve ever felt in your life, buy and read, Over-The-Counter Natural Cures and The Stop Eating So F#@%ing Much Diet and follow all of the suggestions.
11. Since the usage does not specify, should I take Immune FX with food or on an empty stomach?
12. Can I take it with alcohol?
13. When should I stop taking it?
14. Can I give Immune FX to my children?

Chances are, your business uses Microsoft System Center.
It’s the industry-leading tool, but it has some notable limitations. Although it has vast capabilities and provides a rich source of data with information and telemetry across many areas, it can be difficult to interpret, understand and analyse.
So, how can you make sense of System Center information and get the most value from it? There are tools available that are designed to do this, but none address all of the problems businesses encounter when interpreting data. You should be able to manage vast and complex datacenters, streamline processes, increase efficiency and optimise performance. But it can all be much harder than it needs to be.
We have looked at the key challenges businesses face when turning Microsoft System Center data into useful insights and, most importantly, how they can be overcome.
What are the key challenges of interpreting System Center data?
Visibility: No centralised dashboard – There is no central place that gives a holistic view of all data. So with such vast and complex databases, it’s difficult to know exactly what’s going on and that means it can be time-consuming to find the data that you need.
Depth: Limit to the depth of data – Getting right to the bottom of any problems or any areas that are performing well can be extremely difficult. There is no drill-through capability to provide detail of specific updates, applications, incidents etc. The top-level statistics in the System Center Consoles look great, but how can we get to the granular data behind those pie charts?
Reporting: Not fully integrated – Effective reporting and critical analysis of performance is inhibited. Without integration of all systems, reporting is incomplete. This makes it difficult to know whether IT systems and environments are performing and inhibits teams from making the necessary changes to maintain and improve performance.
So, visibility, depth and reporting are the main problems for businesses seeking to interpret the data from Microsoft System Center.
But how can businesses overcome them?
You need a tool that addresses all of these problems and provides an effective solution. That’s why when designing Callisto, we kept these challenges in mind to build a tool that enables businesses to get the most value out of their data.
With Callisto everything is in one place, giving complete visibility of critical statistics across multiple systems. That’s a huge amount of scope for information integration, as it can be seamlessly aligned with Configuration Manager, Service Manager and Operations Manager. This increases visibility by allowing teams access to data in one single location. And that’s not only great from a managerial perspective for monitoring projects and processes, but also allows you to review the overall health of an infrastructure and analyse performance with ease.
There’s no need to trawl through vast and complicated databases, because the information you need is served up clearly and concisely in one central place. This saves time, and when it comes to business, although it’s a cliché, it’s true that time is money.
Information is displayed in bite-size chunks, so it’s far easier to make sense of it all. Because what’s the point of having all this data if you can’t understand it and use it to its full potential?
The colour-coded infographics and graphs give a clear visual representation of what’s going on, allowing you to get the top-level data you need, at a glance.
Suddenly, complex data becomes accessible and can be utilised by multiple teams within a business, not just the IT department.
This will not only increase efficiency, but also give IT specialists more capacity to work on other, more complex projects that do rely on technical know-how. Callisto turns data into digestible business intelligence.
Callisto is data-rich, with click-through for serious depth and detailed interrogation. Because it’s been built with user experience in mind, it is highly interactive; you can go through from top-level right down to a granular level, at the touch of a button.
And It’s not just about surface data, there is serious depth to what’s available. So if you want to take a look at something in more detail, you can, as you should.
If you want to check progress and see exactly what is going on, you can. And it only takes seconds. Select a date range and view compliance of all updates in a single location. See what’s currently installed and which machines do or don’t require updates. Want to take a closer look at specific machines? Simply click into them to view detailed information about the update and upgrade targeting. With such an interactive dashboard it’s easy to drill-down into data to get the detail that you need.
It’s clear to see how this could massively reduce time and effort, as in-depth data is readily available at the touch of a button. Reporting on this data is also much easier, because you can explain exactly what, where, when and why things are happening across the whole system. From that, you can critically analyse and evaluate any part of your database to optimise performance.
Callisto has advanced reporting and analytical capabilities. Access detailed inventory, performance and warranty details, as well as track software installations and usage, in a single location.
Gone are the days of sifting through copious databases for specific information. Or discovering that data has been deleted because it’s too far in the past.
Everything is trackable with our unique Global Search tool.
It allows you to quickly and easily find the information you need. You don’t need to know which tool holds the data. Just type in a computer name, user, incident, update ID or anything else and Callisto will search across the full system for the information that you need.
The calendar and interactive charting also provide clarity on incidents, alerts and performance – past, present and future.
With these tools, reporting is no longer a daunting task for your IT team. Not only that, but you have the opportunity to become more active with your data and produce meaningful reports that add business value.
Don’t be passive about your data.
Pull specific areas up on a big screen with chart animation and auto refresh. Investigate in detail. Track performance. Critically analyse and evaluate. In this way, data becomes a benchmark for your business performance.
Callisto takes the complex and makes it simple with a highly-interactive and intuitive single-source for reporting across System Center. So you can report with ease, speed and style, on any device.

There’s a reason the government offers property owners a depreciation deduction: the minute you buy a property, it starts to deteriorate. It weathers. It grows old. Roofs begin to leak. Paint peels and wood rots. Carpeting wears out and equipment goes bad.
That’s why maintenance and repair are essential components of property ownership, particularly if you want to attract and hold desirable tenants paying high rents, which in turn brings strong valuations.
And the key to good property maintenance is a good maintenance person, or team.
Unfortunately, hiring a good maintenance person, or team, is very tricky. You have to find people who are competent, not a prima donna, trained and experienced in a wide variety of trades and skills, and – perhaps most important – honest and uninterested in stealing from you and your tenants.
Over the years, I’ve hired a great many maintenance people, some good, some not so good. I’ve learned what to look for in a maintenance person, and what to recognize as a “red flag” of danger.
In this article, I’ll share some of that experience with you, and provide guidelines you won’t find anywhere else on how to hire a good maintenance person, whether this is your first, or your last in a long line of such hiring decisions.
To begin, notice your maintenance candidates from the minute they arrive at your location. What are they driving?
Whether your maintenance person is going to work for you full time or part time, you want the person you select to have a large, reliable van. Many maintenance people drive trucks, and those are a better sign of competence than a worn-out sedan. No matter what make or model, if the candidate drives up in a car, that’s not whom you should hire.
Before you even begin an interview with a candidate for your maintenance position, ask yourself a simple question: If he or she is driving a truck, how will your maintenance person lock up not only his tools, but the materials, appliances, and other equipment he buys for your properties and transports there?
The work-vehicle is such an important indication of a maintenance person’s qualifications that I suggest you tell every candidate to bring his or her work-truck to the interview.
Look over the tools he or she is carrying. You want to see more than basic outfits for plumbing (check his or her torch), drywall, tile work, carpet installation (ask to see his or her carpet stretcher!), and carpentry.
Whether the candidate will be working for you full time or part time, he or she should already have on hand, readily available in his or her van, most of the materials needed to turn an apartment. Paint and brushes, drop cloths, ladders, tools, electrical items, and various incidental items and materials should all be ready to hand. If they’re not, this candidate has not been busy working, and he’ll be on your payroll as he takes the time to come up to speed not just on skills, but on supplies.
Your goal should not be simply to hire the first candidate who talks a good game. Instead, plan on interviewing a number of candidates until you find three or four who seem qualified. You will then give these top candidates some practical tasks to do. After one or more of these candidates show their maintenance chops to your satisfaction, you’ll send them to a psychologist for an in-depth interview and background testing.
You’ll do your hiring from among those candidates who run this entire gauntlet and pass it to your satisfaction.
A good trial assignment for candidates who seem qualified is to turn around a recently vacated apartment. Give each good candidate a different unit. Walk him or her through the unit and get a sense of what he sees wrong, and how he plans to bring it up to standards. Offer a fair wage for the work. Then see how quickly, and how well, he or she can finish the job.
If an average apartment takes a candidate more than three days for a standard paint-up/fix-up turnaround, keep looking for someone more qualified.
As you evaluate the completed apartment, look at the quality and consistency of the work, the efficiency of material usage, the amount of disturbance – noise, smells, hallway clutter, and so forth – for other tenants, and the candidate’s overall competence at handling the project.
One key indicator: your potential hire for the maintenance position must be able to do great drywall work. When he or she is done with a wall, you shouldn’t be able to see there was ever a hole in it. Patches should be dead smooth, and large wall expanses should not show any ripples or waves. Even if he or she is good at everything else, if your candidate can’t do a great job with drywall, keep looking.
If your property is located in Florida, or any state where people are going to run their air conditioning for several months in a row, your new maintenance hire must be A/C Technician certified. That means he or she has essentially earned a license from the state by showing he or she knows how to fix a variety of air conditioning systems. Hiring a maintenance person with this kind of certification will save you a serious amount of money during the warmest months of the year, year after year after year.
Be particularly wary of hiring anyone who might turn out to be a thief. Even if a thief doesn’t take cash from tenants or from you, a larcenous maintenance person can transfer a great deal of money from your pocket to theirs.
Just think how easy it is to buy too much of any item or material that’s regularly used in maintenance and repair. You can’t monitor these quantities with any real accuracy. A dishonest maintenance person can regularly buy too much, get reimbursed by you, then return the excess for cash or sell it to someone else.
You can’t protect yourself from this kind of theft by buying the materials yourself. Compared with buying materials for your properties on his or her own, it’s no more difficult for a dishonest maintenance person to ask you for too much of an item, then use only what he or she needs and return or sell the rest.
It’s reassuring if your candidate is a licensed contractor, or certified by the International Maintenance Institute, ABMS or ABIM, or any of the other trustworthy certifiers.
One important guideline: Don’t hire the candidate who’ll work for the lowest rates. You want a maintenance person who is supporting himself honestly. If you pay too little, you’re only providing more incentive to steal from you.
Once you select a maintenance person, especially for full time work, make clear you expect him or her to stock most of the common items he’ll be using on his truck at all times. The alternative is very expensive.
For example, if you’re paying $15 per hour, it costs you $45 for your maintenance person to go to the store: an hour to get there, an hour to shop and check out, and an hour to come back to your location. That’s three hours gone from an eight hour day, leaving only five hours for actual, productive work.
It took me only a few years of experience hiring maintenance people to learn that these workers just love to go to stores once a day. They get to blow off steam and talk to their buddies. Not on my dime, please. I tell my maintenance people to stock their trucks every Monday morning so they don’t have to go to the store for the whole rest of the week.
I’m so sold on this idea that if I have a choice of paying someone with a fully stocked truck $20 per hour, or someone working out of a car $13 an hour, I’ll hire the $20 per hour person. Because he or she stocks the materials and doesn’t need to go shopping for each job, it works out much cheaper for me in the end.
Hiring extra helpers for individual maintenance jobs is inherently risky. There’s the question of whether your workmen’s compensation policy will cover the helpers. There’s also the question of the helpers’ honesty: you screened the maintenance guy, but what do you really know about his or her helpers?
Some jobs require helpers, but I try to make sure these temporary workers do only jobs on the outside of my buildings, or that they gain only limited access to locations where they could be tempted to steal. If my maintenance person needs a helper frequently, or for extended periods, I’ll pay for a full-scale screening so I can be sure that helper is trustworthy.
In my experience, the biggest problems with maintenance people occur when they use drugs or alcohol. I simply don’t tolerate this. Every two months, I buy some simple drug test kits from a local pharmacy and have my maintenance guys pee on the test strip. In most states, you have the right to test your employees, and I suggest you make that a routine part of your policy.

Edited with reproductions of paintings by Adam McLean.
This is an edition of the well known Book of Lambspring which first appeared in manuscript during the latter half of the 16th century, but which was made widely available in Michael Maier's Tripus Aureus of 1618, and later included in the Musaeum Hermeticum of 1625. The engravings are very well known and are reproduced in many popular books on alchemy or symbolism today. This is, to my knowledge, the first coloured version ever made available in print. It is not a reproduction of any other manuscript. The colouring scheme is entirely my own, but I have drawn on my extensive study of coloured alchemical manuscripts. There is a short introduction, dealing with some aspects of the symbolism found in the Book of Lambspring.
45 pages. 17 coloured illustrations. A5 hardback.
300 copies only signed and numbered.

My name is Crystal and I am a sophomore swimmer in high school. Natural skincare has always been a fascinating topic to me. Even though clear and healthy skin doesn’t necessarily define a person, it gives me the confidence to speak more and socialize.
I remember walking at malls or parks and seeing teenagers that were twice my size and realizing that a good number of them had acne. Especially on these days, I would fervently pray that my own teenage years wouldn’t give me the same results.
I grew up seeing my cousins’ and friends’ faces covered in pimples. When I asked my parents why they looked like that, they told me practical information like “you need to eat healthy if you don’t want pimples” as well as superstitious phrases such as “every grain of rice you leave on your plate is a pimple added to your husband’s face”. All of these events sparked my interest in preventing acne or blemishes of any kind. In sixth grade, I saw two tiny bumps on the side of my cheek, and I knew it was time to start researching.
Because I was still a little kid in elementary, I was drawn towards items that were available in the kitchen instead of twelve dollar products in stores. Twelve dollars seemed like a fortune to me at the time, and why would I take the time to go to Target when I had free supplies like yogurt, strawberries, and oatmeal in the kitchen? My frugal tendencies saved me from being sucked into the chemical and expensive world of skincare and I would like to help others to do the same.
You know that phrase “always learn from your mistakes”? Well, I believe that you don’t have to only learn from your own, but other people’s mistakes as well.
As I explored the natural world, I conducted many experiments and a multitude of them were disasters. For instance, I read that coconut oil was the best for my dry skin, so I decided to smother it all over my face. I would never, ever, recommend this to anyone. For the next two weeks, it looked like my face was stung by bees because the coconut oil had clogged my pores. I remember that I was so embarrassed that I would use my hand to “block the sun” while I was talking to people. Eventually, I found hemp oil which thankfully cleared my skin. I hope to prevent people from experiencing similar traumatic events and guide them to the best way to care for their complexion.
As I entered middle and high school, my peers began to question how I kept my skin so clear. At first, I simply gave them some tips and a homemade clay mask, but I wasn’t sure if it would be effective because their skin was oily while mine was a bit more on the dry side. To my surprise, they gave me positive feedback and reported that their acne was disappearing. I was very excited because it meant that all my hard work paid off and that I could probably help even more people achieve their goal of clear skin.
My own mission is to be one of those people that look like they are 20 years younger than they actually are. I try to stick to natural skincare because it makes sense that our skin would prefer natural products because it is part of nature itself.
As I continue to learn more about natural solutions, I would like to share my past, present, and future experiences with others to help them discover the best way to keep their complexion free of blemishes.

CHICAGO (October 20, 2014) – Three new board chairs will lead Equality Illinois at protecting full implementation of the new freedom to marry in Illinois, advocating a national agenda including passage of broad workplace protections, and implementing fresh approaches on a broad range of issues facing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Illinoisans.
Grant Gochnauer, a technology entrepreneur, is the new chair of the board of Equality Illinois, overseeing the policy advocacy work of the organization. Anthony D. D’Amato, an attorney, is the new chair of the board of Equality Illinois Education Project, the educational arm of Equality Illinois that concentrates on community outreach, issue education, and building alliances. As the new chair of the Equality Illinois Political Action Committee, Nicole Bashor, a patent attorney, leads the political affiliate of Equality Illinois.
“Grant, Anthony, and Nicole, all longtime participants in the Equality Illinois mission, bring essential leadership skills and commitment to the cause at this important juncture in the struggle for full LGBT rights,” said Bernard Cherkasov, CEO of Equality Illinois, the state’s oldest and largest advocacy organization for LGBT Illinoisans.
Gochnauer is the Vice President and Co-Founder of Vodori, Inc., a Chicago consulting and software development company, coupling that with advocacy work, including frequent testimony before legislative panels in favor of immigration reform and on the harm of the Defense of Marriage Act.
D’Amato, a lifelong Chicagoan, is the Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Illinois Institute of Technology. He believes educating the public through the initiatives of the Equality Illinois Education Project will continue to be essential to securing the legal rights for the LGBT community and to fostering understanding throughout society.
Bashor, a patent attorney at Quarles & Brady, helps companies protect their innovations by providing strategic counseling regarding product releases, technology acquisition, and anything else relating to intellectual property. She has been involved in LGBT advocacy for all of her adult life and was recognized this year as one of best LGBT attorneys under 40 by the National LGBT Bar Association, which recently elected her to its board. Bashor also serves on the board of the Lesbian and Gay Bar Association of Chicago.

Remember last week when I posted about options for my New Year’s Resolutions? My Goals? My word for 2015?
Apparently, I meant none of it.
Plan more so we stress less.
What the? Did I not just blog several times about completely different goals?
Sometimes, y’all, the mind of this working momma just moves on so quickly, I can’t even keep track.
So, I decided to write down a few specific ways to stay organized, focus on ALL of my goals, and keep from losing my mind as we plunge forward into 2015.
1. MEAL PLAN. As a working mom, I find that meals are the hardest part of the day. And I work from home fairly often. Technically, I could thaw meat or throw something in the slow cooker so the evenings are a little less hectic. But, emails and conference calls add up, and it’s time to pick up the kids before I know it. So, this month, I’m cooking in bulk and freezing extra fully-cooked meals that I know can be ready with very little time or forethought.
2. MASTER CALENDAR. Before kids, I could tell you the date, time, and location of any event, appointment or meeting that was scheduled in the coming year. From memory. I could probably even tell you what I planned to wear, given that I would not yet have to worry about spit up on my collar, snotty kisses on my knees, or a fluctuating waistline. Now, though, I’m lucky to remember that lunch is usually sometime around noon. So we have a master calendar. I typically print out a 3-month plan. You don’t need a fancy planner. Just use Excel or Publisher, enter your info, and print. Then print again once you’ve updated by pen everything you forgot to list on the first version. Do it, because it will be a lifeline.
4. MOTTO or MANTRA. We working parents have such few precious moments with our kids each day, before and after work. And, inevitably, no matter how much you really really really want those moments to be full of joy and fun …. Well, you end up cleaning your car because the baby had a diaper blowout. Or the kids spend the evening in time-out thanks to the somebody-had-a birthday-at-day-care cupcake overload attitude. So sometimes I have to tell the universe: YOU WILL NOT STEAL MY JOY. No matter how many bodily fluid-filled messes or sugar crazed fits we encounter. These are my babies, dang it. We will enjoy our time together.
5. LET IT GO. I’ve heard the song a dozen or more times a day for the past year, so I should probably let it sink in. I read THE BEST post from Momastery about how you can’t miss your own ship: It won’t leave without you. So if you do happen to miss a deadline or are late for an appointment … or if the meal planning and master calendar and all else fails, just let it go. Live in the moment and enjoy it.
Do you have a tip for surviving the new year? Please share!
The wheels kind of fell off the cart on our meal planning this week when my little guy got sick, but I'm hoping to get back on track and really stock up this month.
