The 2007 International Frisbee Tournament was held June 30-July 1 at the Hancock Driving Park, celebrating 50 years of Guts Frisbee competition.
Tournament officials on Saturday set up the schedule, and do the drawing for playoff assignments. The weather was perfect. Guts Frisbee started in Eagle Harbor, MI in 1958, by a group of Eagle Harborites headed up by the Healy family. Brothers Tim and Pete Healy would die tragically, along with a brother-in-law John Caspary, during deer season of 1968, in a drowning mishap at Twin Lakes. Alfred Erickson Post 186, American Legion, took care of the refreshments concessions, keeping everyone filled up with hot dogs and brats for the two day event. One of the teams in competition during Saturday’s double elimination schedule. This group of Boomtown players got together for a group picture. In the front row center, with white sun visor, is Paul Richardson, of Wisconsin, oldest player in the 2007 IFT, at age 72.
The Boomtown Saints of Lansing, MI , in quarter final action. The Julius T. Nachazel Trophy, along with a traveling trophy. Selfish (Tokyo, Japan) and the Silverbacks ( a newly formed team from Brandenton, FL) get final instructions from the referees prior to the semi-final playoff game on Sunday afternoon. Early promoter and former owner of the Library Bar, Jon Davis, (left), is introduced to the crowd prior to the semi-final action. Davis credited early player/promoters Jim Boggio, of Eagle Harbor, & WHDF’s Roland Burgan with helping to generate publicity that catapulted the creation of the IFT into the world wide phenomenon it is today. The subsequent decision by the Whamo Corporation to produce Frisbees nationwide, was also a big factor. Davis was also a major promoter of the Press On Regardless Road Rally.
Silverbacks in action. They would lose to Selfish. Selfish make a great catch More catching action by Selfish. They would progress to the finals Sunday evening, only to lose to a great team, Katon, also from Tokyo, Japan. Great playing, great fun, 50 years of Frisbee competition. Congratulations to all who make it possible.

Is it snowing in Greek Peak ?¡Gracias!
Greek Peak in the United States (New York State) is a medium sized ski resort with 8 ski lifts (6 chair lifts, 2 surface lifts) but it only has 293 metres (961 feet) of vertical descent. Greek Peak has 257 acres of terrain over 29 trails. Greek Peak is best suited to intermediate skiers and snowboarders but there is some terrain for beginners and advanced skiers. There are 32 kilometers (20 miles) of cross country ski trails at Greek Peak. For snowboarders, there is a half pipe. The nearest airport is at Hancock (Syracuse) and the nearest train station to Greek Peak is at Syracuse. There is accommodation located close to the pistes but we would welcome additional information about any hotels or chalets in Greek Peak.
Sad to see such reviews especially since so many schools use this facility. As a parent who doesn't ski I was unsure of the quality, just knew the prices seemed high. Now after reading up on this and other opportunities I am even more disappointed in the choice.

What Is Hair Damage? How to Get Rid of It?
Hair is a unique part of the body which plays an important role in our overall look. Unfortunately, the ratio of people suffering from hair loss and hair damage is increasing day by day. Alopecia areata, pattern baldness, partial, and complete hair loss are very common types of hair loss. In this era, it is very less likely to say that someone hasn’t experienced any hair problem in his entire life.
Chemical damage refers to the hair damage caused by harmful substances present in hair colors and hair care products. The harsh chemicals make your mane dry and can cause scalp irritations. It is suggested to use sulfate and paraben-free hair care products like Toppik Shampoo. It is a mild shampoo that gently cleanses your hair and makes it appear thicker, shinier, and fuller.
The way you treat your hair has a deep impact on your hair health. Pulling your hair while combing breaks your hair strands and can also be a reason of split ends. It is better to treat your hair with love and care. For example, you should always detangle your hair with a wooden comb to reduce the friction between your hair and the comb. Furthermore, you should always try to start brushing your hair in small sections from bottom to the top, it easily detangles your hair and makes it less prone to the damage.
Straightening and curling your hair with heat styling tools disrupts all the natural hydration of your mane. The frequent use of these tools not only makes your hair dull and damaged but also reduce their growth. It is better to minimize your heat hairstyling for better hair growth and a healthy looking hair appearance.
Hair damage is something which can occur due to any of the above-mentioned factors. All you need to do is maintain a healthy hair care routine for your hair. It can be done by understanding and meeting the basic needs of your hair.
You may have noticed that your hair begins to fall off after a certain duration of hair damage. You can attain a fuller and thicker hair look with Toppik Hair Building Fibers. However, avoiding mechanical, thermal, and chemical damage is the key. Just a little care and love can make your hair big and beautiful.

George Phillips has held many successful one-man exhibitions as a realist artist in Australian capital cities.
George Phillips was born and educated in Melbourne.
In his early years he studied under Bill Phelan, one of the old Australian Masters and a member of the Victorian Artist Institute.
Travelling extensively throughout Australia, Phillips became fascinated by the never ending changes in the mood of colour and light.
He is a man of many careers.
In his early days he was a wool classer, but as a family man he was not content with being away from home for long periods so he studied engineering and became a consultant to the profession.
In 1972 he commenced painting professionally and developed his own particular detailed style.
Beginning early in life Phillips developed his skill initially in charcoals and pastels, then branching out into other favoured mediums.
He has a record of successful one-man exhibitions as a realist artist in Australian capital cities.
His paintings are eagerly sought after and are in collections in Australia, China, England, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand and the United States.

…right up until President Trump jolted them with a homework assignment: take another look at the TPP, because the U.S. might consider re-entering negotiations.
The TPP? The Trans-Pacific Partnership, a free trade agreement with 11 other countries (notably, China isn’t one of them). President Trump pulled the U.S. out of the deal last year, calling it a “disaster” for American workers.
The latest update: Trump was meeting with lawmakers from agricultural states—the parts of the country that would suffer the most from a trade war with China. After the meeting, Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse (a big proponent of free trade) said the president seemed pretty serious about re-joining TPP on better terms.
Bottom line: Fans of the TPP argue the pact could accomplish the same goal as Trump’s tariffs: pressure China to play by the rules. The difference? Twelve pressure points instead of one.

ISS 2017 is looking forward to featuring keynotes from two distinguished speakers.
Today’s advances in tactile sensing, wearable, situated and context-aware computing and robotics are spurring new ideas about how to configure touch-centered interactions in terms of roles and utility, which in turn expose new technical and social design questions. But while haptic actuation and sensing technology is improving, incorporating them into a real-world design process still brings many challenges. In this talk I’ll focus on how my group has approached research both into viable roles and design languages for physical communication, and of what is needed to support their design.
I’ll explore this in the context of several examples, such as translating users’ cognitive frameworks for processing tactile signals into guidelines and tools to create learnable message vocabularies; exploiting low-cost, stretchy touch sensors and machine learning touch recognition to raise the ‘emotional intelligence’ of social human-robot interaction through bidirectional communication; and how such sensing and simple outputs can transform other interactions that are situated in the physical world rather than on a traditional computing device.
Karon MacLean is a Professor in Computer Science at UBC, with degrees in Biology and Mechanical Engineering (BSc, Stanford; M.Sc. / Ph.D, MIT) and industry experience in robotics and interaction design. She leads UBC’s Designing for People interdisciplinary research cluster and CREATE graduate training program, and is Special Advisor, Knowledge Mobilization to the Faculty of Science. Her research interests are in the design of situated haptic and multimodal interfaces, and affective, therapeutic human-robotic interaction.
Interactive Surfaces and Spaces increasingly pervade our everyday life, appearing in various sizes, shapes, and application contexts, offering a rich variety of ways to interact”. Actually getting technologies used in everyday life though requires sensitivities to a range of other factors beyond the technology itself. Drawing on years of research in CSCW and related areas, this talk will explore how playing at the intersection of social and computing sciences can inform how we conceptualise, design and deploy new ISS technologies in everyday life. The discussions will touch on the importance of social practices through which technologies come to be incorporated into everyday life, the need to be critically reflective about the values entailed in our technology designs, and the potential of ‘good’ technologies to contribute to health, well being and human flourishing.
Geraldine Fitzpatrick is Professor of Technology Design and Assessment and heads the Institute of Design and Assessment of Technology and the Human Computer Interaction Group at TU Wien. She is also an ACM Distinguished Scientist. Previously, she was Director of the Interact Lab at the University of Sussex, User Experience consultant at Sapient London, and Senior Researcher at the Center for Online Health/DSTC in Australia. Her research is at the intersection of social and computer sciences to support social interaction using mobile, tangible and sensor-based technologies in everyday contexts, with a particular interest in supporting collaboration, health and well-being, social and emotional skills learning, community building and active engagement for older people. She has a published book and over 180 refereed journal and conference publications in diverse areas such as HCI, CSCW, health informatics, pervasive computing. She sits on various advisory boards, and serves in many editorial roles, including associate editor of the CSCW journal, and program committee/chair in various CSCW/CHI/health related international conferences.

Kiyoshi Nagai is a structural biologist who studies the complex molecular machine known as the spliceosome. In eukaryotic cells, the protein-coding sequences of most genes are interrupted by noncoding segments called introns. After introns are removed from precursor messenger RNAs (mRNAs), the flanking coding segments — exons — are spliced together to form mature mRNAs by the spliceosome.
If this splicing process fails, diseases can result. Kiyoshi is combining X-ray crystallography and electron cryomicroscopy (cryoEM) with biochemical and genetic techniques in an effort to increase our knowledge of this critical process in eukaryotic gene expression.

GREAT Britain Fed Cup captain Anne Keothavong is desperate for another home tie when the World Group II play-off draw is made tomorrow.
Defiant Johanna Konta recovered from collapsing midway through her singles match with Aleksandra Krunic to win 7-6 (7-1), 3-6, 6-2 and clinch the the best-of-three duel after Katie Boulter had put Britain 1-0 up.
Konta, who said she had an out-of-body experience, spent over ten hours on court over the space of the four-day tournament at the University of Bath as she and Boulter both won all of their singles matches. Their success was aided by the partisan support in what was Britain’s first home Fed Cup tie since 1993.
April’s event will be their fifth World Group II play-off since 2012 and the previous four ties have all been away.
Having seen what difference a home crowd can make, Keothavong is hoping the draw is kind and said: ‘Weeks like this no one will forget, and it makes a huge difference. We do deserve a home tie. The girls deserve it, that’s what they want, I don’t care who we’re up against.

So, this week is the penultimate week of counting the Omer, which means we’re in the week of Yesod, or foundation.
1) Childhood and our formative years, because like it or not, whatever formative experiences God gives us as children continue to shape our reactions, beliefs and personalities for the rest of our lives. That doesn’t mean that we’re stuck with all the negative stuff ad infinitum, God forbid, but it does mean that we need to be aware that every emotional and mental problem we usually have as adults, from the mildest to the most severe, is somehow rooted in, and connected to our childhoods.
I know – that’s a scary thought, isn’t it, especially once we ourselves have been given the job of ‘creating’ the childhood experiences of the next generation.
Over at the spiritualselfhelp.org website, you’ll find an article called: The Seven Cardinal Rules of Raising Happy, Healthy Kids, which lays out some fundamental guidelines for how to lay a strong foundation for our children.
Last week, I went to visit RASHBI’s grave in Meron on Lag B’Omer, with a few hundred thousand other people.
I came back completely knackered, and to be honest, I wasn’t 100% sure why I’d gone – or why so many thousands of other people had gone, too, including pregnant women, small kids and old, old people.
But then today, I woke up feeling so much better than I’ve been feeling recently, and it brought back to me again the tremendous power of these tzadikim, the foundation of the world.
I got hot, deafened, tired and bemused at Meron. But apparently, I also got lit up with some tremendous spiritual strength without even knowing it. And that’s why people go back, year after year after year.

This inspirational shoot was planned and executed and the day of it decided to threaten rain. Ir sprinkled on us a tiny bit as we set up everything. The dark rain clouds rolled in and I shot the whole thing in 40 min. While I took pictures of Chris and Kat they took down the whole table and cake set up. Then, literally 30 seconds after the bride walked in to change out of her dress, it POURED rain…. buckets of rain.

There are so many autoresponders out there that it is difficult to find one which satisfies your requirements and your budget.
Let’s get into this Sendlane Review and see whether that autoresponder company may satisfy your requirements and objectives for your company.
Jimmy Kim and Anik Singal were looking for an all inclusive management platform for their online business.
A complete email marketing automation platform to their digital marketing companies.
Sendlane makes it effortless to make a native connection from within Sendlane to your site. Moreover, you can connect to popular affiliate marketing programs such as WooCommerce and Clickbank. Integrations are being added continuously, so your favorite application may not be available now, but it will most likely be available shortly. Sendlane’s staff is always available to take almost any integration requests, so make your voice be heard and ask your favorite app!
Employing Sendlane’s event monitoring and a simple”copy and paste” Shopify integration install, Sendlane will monitor your customers on every step of the purchasing travel.
You’ll have the ability to know precisely how your visitors move and browse through your website. Plus, it displays and stores all of that info within their customer profile on your Sendlane account.
The new Deep Data capabilities enable you to catch the whole listing of your clients behaviors on your Shopify store.
From site visits to product purchases to just how much they spent, Sendlane will collect all of that information for you.
Plus, the data sync occurs instantly, so you can view the most updated details (by customer) anytime you want!
The ideal way to find out whether Sendlane integrations will operate with your applications is to register for a free 14 day trial and give it a try!
Sendlane’s effort analytics and reports allow you to keep your finger on the heartbeat of your email campaigns and adapt your plan based on functionality.
One of the most popular buzzwords in 2018 is retargeting or even remarketing. It’s a term used to describe a way of advertising that gets customers or possible customers back to your site.
Sendlane has only introduced e mail retargeting for all of its customers as a brand new feature included at no price.
Other email autoresponder providers have a tendency to be tough to get a hold of. Emailing support may take hours or days, and you may not get the answer you were searching for.
Their average response time is really a whooping 3 moments, but odds are you will be talking to a Sendlane Support Specialist in under that. Additionally, they’ve worked on an extensive knowledge base full of very helpful tutorials at which you can readily learn how to begin using Sendlane.
There have been several people questioning Sendlane deliverability. I’ve moved a small number of subscribers to them so as to check the Sendlane deliverability and I have discovered it to be in accordance with my other autoresponders.
I should state that deliverability is dependent on several different issues and it’s tough to generate a judgement on deliverability without sending the exact same message, with exact subject line to a listing which has substantially the same average open rates.
I discovered that the Sendlane open rate was marginally lower compared to my other responder open speed, but it’s not easy to tell whether that was a deliverability issue or not.
Sendlane does offer a free trial. It’s a 14 day free trial plus a credit card is needed because it will upgrade to a paid accounts after 14 days based on the number of subscribers that you have in your account.
We understand what Sendlane costs, let us take a peek at what attributes are included in the price.
Sendlane offers a rich suite of high quality characteristics aimed at the digital marketing platform.
I found Sendlane a couple of years ago, but they were just getting the business off the floor and with almost any young company, there were problems.
I let them grow and perform their problems before I choose to give them a test drive and then evaluate them for this inspection.
What I found was an autoresponder firm with extremely exalted aims to supply an all in one management system for digital marketers.
That is a big undertaking and when you attempt to become everything to everybody, sometimes things fall through the cracks.

Chipper Jones said his relationship with Braves hitting coach Don Baylor is so good, he would like to play for him one day when Baylor becomes a manager. Baylor, however, is not expected to become manager of the Braves.
Baylor is considered to be very close to getting named manager of the Cubs, at least according to a slip-up on their official website that announced the appointment. But the Indians and Angels are pursuing him as well. Meanwhile, Jones becomes a free agent after the 2000 season.
Jones was asked how he felt about Baylor and just smiled.
Baylor is credited with making the switch-hitting Jones a more dangerous force from the right side of the plate this year, correcting a perceived weakness. Jones hit .352 against lefties, and 15 of his career-high 43 home runs were from the right side, also a career high. Before this season, he had 12 career homers from the right side in 678 at-bats.
He said Baylor asked him what his philosophy was regarding hitting right-handed, and Jones said his goal was to hit the ball hard and have an average over .300.
Jones has said in the past he wants to stay in Atlanta, but that the Braves need to do the right thing by him, which is pay him like the superstar he is. So far, he has come cheaply, but that will likely change, especially since he is likely to win the National League MVP Award this year.

Please note: These scans are for other fans to enjoy. It has cost a lot of time, effort and money to collect & upload these scans so please either leave the site logo or add a link back to this website so people can view the original scans and transcripts in full. Please just don’t crop and copy (due to issues on Instagram, some of the scans are shown only as thumbnails- not a decision I took lightly but I was forced into it by rudeness and no appreciation of the costs & effort involved or the fact that many of these scans are of my personal collection of magazines).

Beginning of 2018, I realized that while I do read fairly extensively, I allow myself to slack sometimes and let other things like exams, job, family, Grey’s Anatomy, get in the way of my reading routine. So, I created Pritika’s Reading Challenge 2018 for myself, and noted down all the works of fiction I wanted to read this year!
I had hoped to have read more by now, but I’m hoping that there will be a lot more reading in the next 8 months of 2018!
If you haven’t taken up the Reading Challenge yet, go check it out!

Not everyone realizes they need an estate plan. However, it is inevitable that each and every one of us will need to have an estate plan in place to deal with our death or possible disability in the future. It is also true that an estate plan for one person may look completely different for another person. The estate planning checklist that follows will help you decide what estate plan works best for you.
An estate plan addresses important decisions and issues that occur in the event of someone’s death or disability. The estate plan will determine what happens to the assets your own, the payment of your debts, the financial support available to your family, an attempt to avoid probate court and, in some cases, minimizing estate taxes in the process.
There are many ways these needs can be met by using beneficiary designations on accounts and other assets and by setting up appropriate estate planning documents, such as a Will or a Trust. Estate planning should also consider appointing a guardian for minor children, as well as have a plan for your medical care in the event you were to become disabled.
Many financial assets, such as retirement, investment, life insurance, and bank accounts can be automatically transferred to whom you wish upon your death simply by adding that person as the beneficiary of that financial asset. The financial asset is still owned solely by you but would pass upon your death to the named beneficiary. You may also change your beneficiary designations at any time.
Another approach is to title assets as joint tenants with the rights of survivorship. This, however, places ownership in both your name and your beneficiaries’ name. The problem with this approach is that the beneficiary now equally owns half of that asset and you cannot change your mind and take that ownership back. Since you can simply use a beneficiary designation without giving away half of your estate during your lifetime, joint ownership of assets is not typically part of an estate plan.
Many people wonder what happens to your debts upon your passing. Your creditors can sue your estate if your debts are not paid, so figuring out what do with your debts is an important thing to think about when making your estate plan. If your estate will have enough money to pay off your debts and you will still have enough money left over for your loved-ones to inherit, debts will not be much of a consideration.
However, if you have a lot of debts, you may consider securing a life insurance policy, naming your estate as the beneficiary of that life insurance policy, and including provisions in your estate plan to pay off those debts to ensure your heirs receive enough of an inheritance to support themselves.
As you can see, a lot of financial assets and other property can go to your heirs through beneficiary designations. As to the rest of your property that cannot be passed to your heirs through beneficiary designations, a Last Will and Testament can be used to pass your remaining assets to your heirs. Although a Last Will and Testament will suffice, your estate may still need to finalized in probate court. The disadvantage of “probating” your estate is that it requires your family to get court approval of the transfer of your assets according to your Will.
You will also have to appoint someone to be the executor of your estate. An executor is a person you designate to make sure all of the assets pass to your heirs according to the terms of your Last Will and Testament. You can also designate someone to be the guardian of your minor children.
Because many people want to avoid their family having to go through probate court, many people creating an estate plan opt to create a living trust; sometimes referred to as a “family trust”. These trusts can be either revocable or irrevocable; meaning you can either terminate the trust at any time or you are prohibited from terminating the trust.
You then title all of your assets, such as your house, cars, financial accounts etc into the name of the trust you have created. You will typically name yourself as the trustee of the trust, but you will name someone else to become the successor trustee upon your death. The person named as the successor trustee would then distribute your assets out of the trust to your beneficiaries according to the exact terms of the trust you created. All of this negates the need to go to probate court; saving your family time and money.
A Financial Power of Attorney enables someone else to manage your assets. In estate planning, these powers of attorney are referred to as Durable Financial Powers of Attorney. The term “durable” simply means the power of attorney continues to allow another person to manage your assets upon your death. These powers of attorney, by their very terms, do not allow a person to manage your assets and finances until you are declared unfit to do it yourself or upon your death.
Having a financial power of attorney also prevents your family from having to go to probate court to obtain control over the management of your assets. This can prevent a lot of frustration and confusion in the event of a person’s death or sudden incapacity.
Estate planning also involves decisions about your medical care in the event you are unable to make those decisions for yourself through the use of a Health Care Power of Attorney. In a health care power of attorney, you designate who can make medical decisions for you in the event you are unable to make those decisions for yourself. It is, therefore, important that you educate the person to whom you are giving the Health Care Power of Attorney about your wishes regarding your medical care should you be unable to make those decisions for yourself.
You also need to decide if you want a Living Will and what you will include in that Living Will. A Living Will contains your express wishes regarding end of life care and what medical procedures you authorize in the event of your incapacity. This enables you to maintain control over what life-saving medical procedures you authority and which you do not authorize and it takes precedence over anyone holding your Healthcare Power of Attorney.
It is a good idea to leave a letter to your executor to help guide him or her in locating your estate planning documents, understanding all of the assets and debts you have, and providing an explanation of what you have decided to do with your estate. You should also include the name, address, and telephone number of all of your heirs to enable your executor to contact those people.

Whe n I’m not on call at the big hospital, I work at the Cancer Center, which is an outpatient facility where patients receive chemotherapy and radiation. When I first arrived, my boss told me to make rounds in the infusion room and the lobby.
I walk into the infusion room, a large open area with chest-high walls dividing each patient’s cubicle. Each person waits in a chair while the medicine drips through IVs with the slow, pained rhythm of a leaky faucet. The nurses use double gloves when hooking up their bags of chemo. The medicines are so poisonous that there is a whole protocol—several layers of nesting plastic buckets—for the event that the chemicals leak.
Some of the patients fiddle with crosswords or knitting. Others bring a friend or relative and huddle around their little TVs. Others just watch the room, their eyes always one step behind the nurses who flit from patient to patient.
I survey the room for the most approachable patient and introduce myself to a middle-aged woman in a cardigan. I ask her how things are going.
“Doing fine,” she says, lifting her eyebrows and holding a tense smile.
“I just wanted to see if there’s any way I can support you while you’re here.” I realize I am wringing my hands and try to force them down to my sides.
The nurse gently asks me to step aside while she sanitizes the nook of her elbow and searches for a vein.
I can feel the patient willing herself to look at me and not her smartphone, still held out in her hand. “Nope, got lots of help,” she says.
Next I speak to an old man with two hearing aids and a raspy, strained voice. I lean in to hear him and then straighten up to project my voice so he can hear me.
“I said, IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU?” The patient and his wife in the next cubicle turn and stare.
I briefly consider sitting down in the tiny “guest seat” in his cubicle, something like a motorcycle sidecar, but consider it too forward. After a few minutes of yogi-like contortions, a nurse pushes a stool beside me.
I tell myself that this job would be better for an extrovert, for an older person, for someone who looks more maternal, for anyone who’s not me.
My boss, seeing me struggle, encourages me to start a group or class for the patients. The cancer center already offers Tai Chi, a healing arts table, yoga, photography, myriad support groups, and free massages.
I page through the empty rolodex that is my list of skills and talents.
We settle on Barbara Brown Taylor’s Learning to Walk in the Dark. During the first group, I read long chunks of text aloud to stave off awkward silences. I try to articulate for the patients exactly what Taylor is saying. They are polite but quiet.
He tells me that good teachers ask the right questions. They help the student discover the answers for themselves.
When I read Eva’s terrific article on Teaching as Hospitality, it hits a nerve. Something about the way we’re expected to help the student (or cancer patient) transform, but end up in a kind of nervous, self-sabotaging performance that is much more about us than the people we are trying to help.
At the next book group I try to think about approaching each patient as the bearer of a great gift, as someone who can teach me. I give the participants space to open up. I learn to let my questions hang in the air, instead of answering them myself out of fear.
Now when I walk into the infusion room, I try to remember someone that I care about and miss. I pretend that I am going into the infusion room to meet that person—the giggly girlfriends from college, the muddle-breed dog I grew up with, my own granddad who died of cancer years ago—and I kindle that longing and affection into cider-colored warmth that carries me into this sterile room.
Each patient must be somebody’s loved one, I think. I try to approach them like they’re my loved one, like they’re bringing me a gift, like we’ve been apart for a long time and I can’t wait to hear what they’ll say.
Last week I approached a patient who’s blown me off every time I try to talk to her.

Every month last year I teamed up with Dutch boy Paints to host an internet program called Restore My Decor. Participants upload photos of their troubled rooms and I picked a winner that would receive a virtual makeover. On the program I featured their room, suppling them with a drawing, color ideas, furniture suggestions as well as answering questions from the on line viewers. These “virtual” winners had the potential to be the grand prize winner, which was a to complete a room makeover buy me personally. When I featured Karen and her husbands living/dining room on the program little did we know that they would become the grand prize winners. So, off to Columbus, Oh. I went with $4000 in my pocket to complete their traditional chic living room.
When I visited Karens home she told me that they accumulated most of the furniture, it was way too bulky and took over the space. Yet the dining area was scant and seemed disjointed. It needed to join the living/dining room spaces which was an issue because I only had $4000. So I edited out a few pieces and added some chic, traditional elements. The camel back sofa was in great condition, I liked it, so it stayed, which was great for the budget. I shopped for a lot of accessories on line (I was relieved they were all there when I arrived) and did a little shopping in Colombus (Great shopping by the way).
10 inches wider then the window to create more drama in the room and showcases the floor to ceiling window. The zebra rug is a playful element but also suggestive of the painting as fur lines the jacket of Napoleons wife in the painting. Animal furs and animal skins were often used in the making of clothes in the 1800’s and was a sign of wealth and rank in society. I used a glass coffee table, so you can see the pattern of the rug, adorned with a few of Karens keepsakes.
After all this, surprising enough, I did not reach my budget. Yeah! I was so excited that I was able to furnish the Dining room for Karen and hubby as well. Off to the stores again. I was even more elated when I found a chest of drawers that was the same dusty blue that I was using in the room. I snatched that up quickly found a mirror to hang above it and found a new dining table. Voila!!!
The end result, Karen was over the moon and even went as far to call me magical. I had so much fun with this project. A big thanks to Dutch Boy for making it possible. Stay tuned for Restore my Decor in 2011, streaming in May. You could be the next grand prize winner.
At the moment I have quite a few projects on my plate but to my children the most important one is a tree house. My Great friend, Bob Garrow, has implemented some creative ideas on the construction. It goes without saying that it was a necessity for the tree house to be safe but we also didn’t want to harm the trees. After doing extensive research we discovered that piercing the tree would be kindest to the tree, kinda like an ear piercing. Bob attached a large turnbuckle to the bolt and then a heavy duty L bracket to the turnbuckle so that the foundation of the tree house sits on the L bracket. There are many great things about this system, one being when the trees move so will the house, like a bridge does. Another is if one tree grows at a different pace the buckle can be adjusted to keep the house level.
This is just the start of my children’s dream house. I will post more photos as we progress.
In researching tree houses I came across these on the web.

Hurricane season is once again upon us, with June 1st marking its beginning. As Texas borders the Gulf Coast, many eastern counties may be vulnerable to severe and destructive weather if a hurricane makes an approach. With the state still recovering from the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, it’s important to remember that another storm of equal or greater magnitude can be extremely devastating. If you’re already a hurricane insurance policy owner, then good on you! If not, then let’s go over why having this policy is extremely important.
Hurricanes are extremely unpredictable. According to weather.gov, Hurricane Harvey grazed the northern area of the Rio Grande Valley before shifting course further north. This unpredictability proved to be devastating for those residing in Houston and the surrounding cities. There were deaths due to disastrous flooding and collapsed roofs, and millions of dollars in damages to both homes and businesses were reported.
An insurance policy that covers hurricane damage is crucial when living near the Gulf Coast. With one, damages can be covered but certain limits may apply and certain losses may not be covered at all. This is why it’s essential to do your research and choose a policy that best fits your needs and budget.
Stock Up on Supplies – It’s essential to stock up on utilities and food during strong storms. Bottled water is necessary and easy to store away as are canned goods. Medical supplies may also be needed. Batteries for radios and flashlights, along with a generator are also good investments.
Secure Windows – We recommend covering up all windows in your home or business with plywood and tarps to prevent damage from high winds and flying objects.
Secure Outdoor Objects – Outdoor furniture, hanging ornaments and anything else that can become a hazard due to strong winds should be stored or tied down.
Once a storm has passed and it’s safe to step outside, start the process of determining the full extent of damages. Document everything through photos or video. This will be extremely important when it comes time to reach out to your insurer. It’s also very important to know that you won’t be the only one filing a claim during this period. Hundreds or thousands of other home and business owners will be doing the same thing, so it may be several weeks before your insurer takes action to determine how to move forward with your claim.
Patience is key during this time. We understand that you’ll be upset and will need for repairs to be underway as soon as possible, but know that your insurer can only do so much during this period.
The one thing you should never do, however, is undertake repairing your home on your own. You may be dealing with dangerous hazards such as shattered glass or live powerlines. Be smart and let professionals handle these repairs. If anything, you can make small cleanup attempts but only AFTER you’ve documented all damages through photos or video.
If you’re ready to find the right hurricane policy to protect your property, then we want to hear from you. Our insurance agency in McAllen will do what it can to assist you in the process of finding the right insurance policy, so contact us today to get started.

It is no secret that our city thrives on tourist dollars.
For a tourist, New Orleans is the greatest destination in this country for culture, events, fun, and so much more.
Which is exactly why we love to call it home.
What happens when crumbling infrastructure starts to get noticed by the people that pump blood through the economic veins of New Orleans?
I'm an American in my 40's, but until last month I had never been to your culturally rich and historically significant city. I stayed in an independent hotel near the garden district and explored N.O. on foot and by car.
Long story short: the streets were so bad that it put a damper on my entire visit.
I almost regretted visiting in the first place. I'm not exaggerating. The potholes, missing street signs, sidewalks, faded/worn crosswalk paint, etc.. were all so bad that I decided I will never return to NOLA unless I see a report on the national news stating that your city has completed a major street repair project.
This may sound melodramatic, but I have to say that I was truly shocked at the condition of the streets... I've never seen anything like it.
I visited some neighborhoods where I found it hard to believe residents drove on the streets on a daily basis. I could not drive close to the speed limit for fear of damaging my vehicle.
I saw nice homes for sale on streets that were absolute deal breakers for any buyer. At one point I said to myself that if I had to live here I'd have to drive a large SUV just to safely navigate the street terrain.
Why should my experience and opinion matter to your city's leaders?
My experience and opinion should matter simply because I'm the kind of person that your city wants to have paying your city hotel tax, and employing your over 70,000 tourism workers. I'm here to spend money on historically/culturally oriented things like tours, musical performances, museums, and historic hotels...as well as dining, shopping and gambling.
My household income is $150,000+. I tend to return to places I've visited and enjoyed (i.e: Key West, Savannah, Orlando, etc.) I'm here to have a good time without being destructive or rowdy. So, in these regards, I'm the type of tourist your city should want as a repeat visitor... my opinion should be of great concern to your city and business leaders.
I realize that your city has faced one of the most significant crises in our country's history. I'm sure Katrina decimated the city's funds. Unless you are planning to close up shop completely, the roads are a pretty basic priority after water and electricity.
Here's what is really scary.
Geoff probably told plenty of friends and family about his experience. Are those people going to skip out on coming to New Orleans because they're afraid of the scarred roadways?
If this letter doesn't scare the you-know-what out of every citizen and city leader of New Orleans, nothing will.
If you care about the future of our great city, please share this letter with everyone you know. By staying angry and organized, we can keep the pressure on our leaders to fix the streets of New Orleans.
Hopefully this process gets started soon so we can welcome tourists like Geoffrey back to New Orleans with open arms... and smooth streets.
Your friends at Fix My Streets.

Zillow is testing a new program in a couple of markets. They have a pool of investors who will generate an instant offer on your house, picking it up on the cheap without the time, hassel or expenses usually associated with an ordinary real estate transaction.
There’s nothing new about this. For more than a decade, investor groups have created marketing campaigns to help them identify home owners who will take significantly less for their properties to have a swift and hassel free transaction. And there are people for whom such an offer has great appeal.
I think about my good friend who, at age 80, wanted to divest himself of a rental condo that was a mess. He considered the value, and was about to list (with a Help-U-Sell broker!), when an investor group contacted him out of the blue. They gave him about 80% of fair market value. He took the offer because he wouldn’t have to clean the place, do extensive repairs, sweat out inspections and appraisals or pay many of the normal costs associated with a sale. Yes, he lost money . . . or rather he exchanged some money for convenience and quickness. For him, it made sense.
As the real estate industry continues to scramble and ‘innovate’ to re-establish an identity with consumers, some recent entries to the business have adoped a similar approach. Open Door, now in Phoenix and a few other markets, is buying houses in much the same way. They are marketing the program as a new approach to residential real estate, one that relieves many of the ‘pressure points’ that weigh so heavily on home sellers. (Translation: they are buying low, paying cash, fixing and flipping).
The first time I encountered this kind of program was back in the 1970s, when ERA Real Estate built their whole marketing program around the notion, ‘If we don’t sell your house, we’ll buy it!’ It sounded pretty good. But after a few years it became very obvious that they weren’t buying many (or any) houses! The terms of ‘we’ll buy it’ included a sales price based on 70 – 80 % of value, and few sellers were willing to take that kind of hit!
The Zillow program – if it survives the pilot, which it should – will appeal to some home sellers; but they are the same home sellers who are by-passing brokers to take a quick fix already. It is competition for HomeVestors (the ‘We Buy Ugly Houses’ guys) and Open Door more than competition for us.
Listen: we have the best program in the business for home sellers interested in making a move with minimum inconvenience while maximizing their hard earned equity. While 40+ years old, it still looks wildly innovative compared to current alternatives. Don’t get distracted! Remember who you are: you are in the Equity Preservation business!* And nobody does it better than you!
*Everyone else is in the Equity Consumption business! They are into taking as big a bite out of the seller’s equity as possible. The ‘We’ll buy your house’ people are just taking an even bigger bite!

Premier League Liverpool hosts Chelsea on the 34th day of the Premier League. A game of vital importance for the two teams whose objective is respectively the title and the qualification for the next Champions League. The Blues of Maurizio Sarri get there with two days less rest after the midweek continental fatigues: on Thursday, in fact, they won in Prague against Slavia for 0-1 with a goal by the Spanish Marcos Alonso. A success that puts a good mortgage on the turn of the shift. Pass of the round that could also win Liverpool in the Champions League: Juergen Klopp’s team, in fact, beat Porto 2-0 at home with goals from the Malian Naby Keita and the Brazilian Roberto Firmino. In this challenge scheduled at Anfield Road, Liverpool will not be able to count on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain while Joe Gomez and Adam Lallana remain in doubt. In Chelsea maybe Ethan Ampadu.
Liverpool unbeaten in the league at Anfield Road from as many as 37 consecutive games.
Liverpool unbeaten among all the competitions from 15 races in a row and winning in the last 6.
Chelsea are unbeaten against Liverpool from 8 straight games played at Anfield Road.
Chelsea have won the last 3 league games and 4 in a row including the last in the Europa League.
Two teams in a good moment of form, galvanized by the last success in Europe but with the mind right at the return of the continental competitions. Challenge in our opinion open with the goal that has characterized 5 of the last 6 challenges and that could be repeated for the third time this season.

When you consider the many ages of adolescent girls, it is clear that our cultural imagination encourages boys and men to think of young girls as fair game. By the time a girl is 12, she isn’t even seen as a whole human being, but regarded for her parts. She’s “forbidden fruit,” “a temptress,” “a man trap” and “asking for it.” All she has to do to be targeted sexually is go for a walk. If she wears skimpy clothes, is overly friendly with a teacher, dances with abandon, especially if she’s a girl or young woman of color, she might be blamed for her own assault. This is a male fantasy.

Andy Borowitz is too big to fail. In the New Yorker, alongside John Cassiday’s claim that the Lehman Brothers collapse gave the election to Obama (see also Krugman last night) and a fascinating article on the legal intricacies of trust funds for dogs.
Is it right to give so much money to a dog—or to dogs generally? And what is the limit of such dispensations to pets? Will there come a time when dogs can sue for a new guardian—or to avoid being put to sleep? One philosopher draws a distinction between the needs of Trouble and those of dogs as a whole. Helmsley “did a disservice to the people in the dog world and to dogs generally by leaving such an enormous amount of money for her own dog,” Jeff McMahan, who teaches philosophy at Rutgers University, said. “To give even two million dollars to a single little dog is like setting the money on fire in front of a group of poor people. To bestow that amount of money is contemptuous of the poor, and that may be one reason she did it.

These days we go through so much of stress that we need to do something or the other to get rid of the stress. Stress can have a really bad effect on your health. There is nothing better than a day at spa. But then you look in to your wallet and you don’t want to spend a fortune in a spa. But there is a lot that can be done at home. You can easily make a home spa. There are some great home spa ideas that you can follow and pamper yourself.
You need a clean bath tub; this has to be your first step towards a home spa. Buy some nice towels that you only keep for your home spa. These towels should only be for you and if you have teenagers they should know that these are mom’s towels. We all love scented candles and they are the most relaxing thing that can add to your home spa. Buy scented candles and save them for your home spa only. Go for the fragrance that you like the most. Tea light candles are the best for a home spa, they are very relaxing. Buy a bottle of rose water to add to the water because rose water is very good for your skin and the fragrance is just lovely.
Apply a facial mask before getting in to the tub. A facial mask is necessary once in a week. Your home spa will give you a relaxing bath and a mini facial side by side. Do scrub your body, there are a lot of body scrubs available in the market such as coconut body scrub and use it on your skin. The best home spa tip is to create an environment that you find the most relaxing and soothing. You can also put on your favorite music on. Try these home spa ideas and you will not regret it. You will be beautified by the end of it and you will feel great from within.

2016 May 09: Transit of Mercury. Report from Rousay.
As with the 2003 Transit of Mercury 0f May 07, the entire event was observed from Rousay.
Whereas in 2003 the first and final contacts both took place before noon, this year (2016) first contact occurred with Sun and planet close to the meridian and at a higher altitude. This afforded better image quality than in 2003 enabling higher powers to be used on the telescopes to assess the timing of first contact.
This year the duration from first to final contact was 07h 28m compared to 05h 17m in 2003. Even so, the Sun's altitude at last contact this year was somewhat greater than the first contact in 2003 so that overall conditions were more favourable in 2016.
In 2003 we employed a single 100mm aperture anchormat, whereas this year we had three instruments in use two on electrically driven equatorial mounts.
The 120mm f/7.5 apochromatic was fitted with a Baader solar filter stopped down to 95mm aperture for imaging and a Polaroid filter on full aperture for visual observations. Powers used ranged from 35x to 180x.
The 100mm apochromatic f/9 fitted with a glass Orion Solar filter at power 45x for full-disc imaging.
The position of the Sun for the hour leading up to final contact was not accessible from the main observing site so that a portable 100mm achromatic refractor was used on a firm tripod equipped with Orion glass filter working at 45x.
General Observations: Atmospheric conditions throughout the day were of moderate to good transparency (some haze at times); seeing quality fair to good but seldom outstanding.
To secure clear mages of the Sun is a somewhat hit and miss affair with rapidly changing seeing quality at the best of times. However, there are brief moments of good seeing enabling fine detail to be recorded on the Sun in visible (white) light—sunspots, faculae.
A transit of the Sun by Mercury and Venus, but Mercury in particular, affords a unique opportunity to assess the quality of the imaging process since, unlike sunspots, the planet presents a clear, sharp, black subject.
Contacts are very challenging. First contact this year took place, as we remarked, with the two objects at a good altitude above the horizon. To time this event required visual observations at relatively high powers with an accurate knowledge for position on the solar limb. One just had to hope for reasonable seeing and this was the case this time. With the Sun’s limb for reference, it was quite impressive to see how quickly Mercury advanced onto the disc, despite the whole event taking over 7 hours.
In all we secured over 600 images.
First contact 09 May 2016 11h 12m 06s Sun's altitude: 47° 9' 29"
Last contact 09 May 2016 18h 40m 13s Sun's altitude: 11° 9' 17"
For comparison we give data for the 2003 transit below.
First contact 07 May 2003 05h 14m 23s Sun's altitude: 8° 4' 59"
Last contact 07 May 2003 10h 31m 23s Sun's altitude: 44° 17' 33"
Duration of Transit: 05h 17m 00s approx.
Actual observational data from Springfield: first image 05h 12m UT, final image 10h 27m UT.
White lines show location of contacts. These are not, of course, the very first and last contacts (see text).
160509 12h 42m 120mm refr. 140x Canon IXUS.
Note: sunspots to the far right highlighted. Without the highlighting Mercury appears black in comparison, since the spot is at a temperature of around 4200° C.
The images have been “corrected” to direct view i.e. top is North left is East and right is West.

All exposures 1/1000 sec with varying ISO values to suit conditions etc.
2019 Nov 11 Only partially visible from Orkney.
2032 Nov 13 Only partially visible from Orkney.

2049 May 7 Visible from Orkney (very favourable).

Males have a larger, squarer and wider chin while females have smaller, rounder and narrower chin. Male chin is little more projected than female chin.
The procedure is done through inside the mouth without any scar outside. A larger, squarer chin can be contoured to a smaller and rounder chin by shaving the corners and base of the chin. If a significant reduction in height is needed then a horizontal section of bone is removed along with sliding genioplasty to reposition the chin in desired position (thus correcting receding / protruding chin).
A receding chin can also be corrected using a chin implant which is a faster and less invasive procedure as compared to osteotomies.
Duration of Procedure: 1- 2 hrs.

Luggage carries a very important role to a traveler since it’s a safe place for the valuables you bring. Flying from one country to another, travelers need a trusted best luggage brand that cannot be damaged easily. It should have all the best quality a luggage can offer from the materials, wheels, zippers, even the handles or the designs to the smallest detail it has matters. Because a zipper luggage getting broken in the middle of the airport while you’re pulling it, rushing to you next flight is a nightmare.
It’s not an easy task deciding on what brand, what size, the price, hard shell or soft shell, two wheels or four wheels luggage to buy, then let’s narrow it down to the best brands for international travel and you decide what to pick. Below are the top picks for the best luggage for international travel for 2018 that would fit to your taste and style.
This Samsonite Fiero HS Spinner 28 has a micro diamond feature and 100% polycarbonate unbreakable shell that can make it through rough travels without a scratch. Its four light weight wheels make it very easy to move around on different surfaces. And you can never go wrong in choosing a luggage with side mounted TSA approved lock that will keep your valuables safe. The big space inside with full-zip interior dividers with straps for you to freely organize when packing and expands to accommodate more content. This luggage has the best light weight travel system so you can pack more clothes you want without worrying about excess baggage.
Travelpro creates high quality luggage and the Platinum Magna 2 although a soft shell is one sturdy luggage with its high-density ballistic nylon fabric with duraguard coating that’s cannot easily be torn. Its side handle provides option in carrying the luggage, with its promising supra zipper heads that is made to resist damage even it if used often (this one is an important quality to a luggage). And another feature which makes this luggage best for international travel is the 8-magnetic wheels that rolls in 360-degrees in any directions without a problem.
Travelers who want to arrive in style can have this Delsey Luggage Helium Aero as the option, with its deep metallic glossy 100% polycarbonate finish that resists breaking, no wonder it belonged to the top 5 as best luggage brand for international travel.
The luggage can expand to 2-inches and has best lightweight travel system so you can pack your essentials without having a problem. Its double spinner wheels make it more convenient to maneuver in multi-direction. Let’s not forget the TSA accepted locks to make your things inside safer.
This classy, sturdy, matte finish luggage is a must-have to your international travels. It’s 100% Bayer polycarbonate with stylish, scratch-resistant matte finish delivers superior strength for the highest level of performance. And to add further protection Victorinox added corner guards and zipper bumpers. Swiss tracker bag tracking program will reunite you with your bag anywhere in the world should it ever be lost – for free. The access lock combination recovery program allows you to register your lock combination on victorinox.com and recover it if it is ever forgotten.
Didn’t I say Travel Pro created best luggage brand for international travel? They do, though most of their luggage is soft shell, it doesn’t matter because they’re sturdy and they can last long. Maxlite3 has 4-wheel spinners that rotates 360 degrees which are good and easy to maneuver and will smoothly glide in any direction. It has also the best light weight travel system and expands that could carry most of you needs. It can’t easily be teared or scratched.
Choosing your luggage will not only depend on its appearance and design but the durability, quality, price, if its waterproof, luggage weight, warranty and even the smallest detail of the luggage must be paid attention like zippers, handles and pockets must also be considered. Because we don’t want go back to the store all the time and waste money for some good-looking luggage but not durable enough for rough and frequent travels.
Hard shell? or soft shell? Both have advantages and disadvantages the decision is still yours to make. As a traveler you already know in your heart what type of luggage you want but as for me, above is my top 5 best luggage for international travel.
After reading your blog post, I browsed your website a bit and noticed you aren’t ranking nearly as well in Google as you could be. I possess a handful of blogs myself, and I think you should take a look at some SEO services, just google it. Wish you luck with your project, I hope you will manage to rank since your content is great!

One of Life’s Ladders to Success…Excellent Attendance!
It is often said that 80% of life’s success is just showing up. Often, this is true. If you are not at school, work, or any other activity on a consistent basis, it is hard to excel. People who show up can be counted on. They are promoted up in organizations. They learn more than their peers who have lower attendance.
At Dayton Independent Schools, we believe that excellent attendance is central to a child’s well-being and ability to make progress. Absences leave gaps in learning, can affect children’s ability to maintain friendships, and often leave students feeling left out or left behind.
This month we will be sending out individual notices to all our students that will report their attendance percentage to date. Students will also know how many days they have missed and how many tardies they have. Our goal for each student is a yearly percentage rate of 98% or better. This means a child should miss no more than a total of 4 days per school year.
The habit of good attendance is like having a ladder to success. An excellent attendance rate is important because students are more likely to succeed in academics when they attend school consistently. It’s difficult for the teacher and the class to build their skills and progress if a large number of students are frequently absent. In addition to falling behind in academics, students who are not in school on a regular basis are more likely to get into trouble with the law and cause problems in their communities.
A 2008 study conducted by the Rodel Community Scholars at Arizona State University that tracked students from kindergarten through high school found that dropout patterns were linked with poor attendance, beginning in kindergarten. Gregory Hickman, director of the Rodel Community Scholars program and former director of the Arizona Dropout Initiative, note that as early as kindergarten, behavioral differences are apparent between those who go on to graduate and those who drop out, with dropouts missing an average of 124 days by the eighth grade.
We appreciate our school community working with us to make the habit of excellent attendance a life habit that Grows our students forward.

Would You Ever Trust Your Own Mom to Play Matchmaker?
You let your girlfriends do it, but would your ever let your mom set you up on a date?
Patricia Gonzalez recently became a viral sensation after she decided to play matchmaker for her son Cody. Patricia approached a random group of girls at her local supermarket, and showed them a picture of Cody in hopes they’d find him cute and want to date him.
After one of the girls, Charisma, tweeted about meeting Patricia, word got back to Cody, who tracked Charisma down and ended up going on a date with her.
When it comes to mom playing matchmaker, Adrienne admitted that although her mom would do a good job, she would much rather meet someone herself.
After agreeing with Adrienne, Jeannie shared her hilarious experiences of Mama Mai trying to set her up following her divorce.
Jeannie revealed, “My mom gets really emotional about the divorce, and now she just doesn’t want me to be alone because she thinks alone is a bad thing. It’s not. I’m very happy, but what she’ll do is hook me up with people, but in front of them!
“One time we were at Costco, and she ran up to me with a dude and she was like, ‘Look! Look! Jeannie! He work, he have a discount!
It only got worse for Jeannie, because Mama Mai also once tried to set her up with a guy who had no teeth.
Real fam, would you let your mom play matchmaker?
