MESA, AZ - It was the kind of doubleheader pitching line coaches dream of - 16 total innings, nine hits allowed, one unearned run, 14 strikeouts and two walks.
That's what Mesa head coach Tony Cirelli can dream about tonight after masterful performances by Tyler Carvalho (So., Lancaster, Calif/Paraclete H.S.) and Matt Mosca (Fr., Las Vegas, Nev/Cimmaron-Memorial H.S.) led to a doubleheader sweep of Division I Eastern Arizona, 1-0 and 6-1.
The wins leave MCC with a 25-5 overall record and 16-4 ACCAC mark. EAC is now 13-15 and 3-11.
It began with a now almost-expected gem from Carvalho.
The T-Birds staked him to a 1-0 lead in the first and that was all he needed. With two out Jordan Zimmerman (So., Mesa, AZ/Red Mountain H.S.) singled. Mitchell Morimoto (Fr., Issaquah, Wash/Issaquah H.S.) walked and Brady Bate (Fr., Spanish Fork, Utah/Spanish Fork H.S.) singled for the only run of the game.
Meanwhile, Carvalho was carving up the Gila Monsters. Allowing only two runners to reach as far as second base, he struck out ten and walked none in a four-hit shutout. The win raises his record to 7-0 and lowers his ERA to an almost-impossible 0.19.
Carvalho's performance was no real surprise. He was an all-American last year and has been rock-solid for Mesa this year.
What followed next was an unexpected treat.
Mosca went seven innings, allowing just one unearned run, three hits and struck out 14 while walking one.
At one point he fanned seven straight and nine out of ten in a dominant performance.
Garrett Bowman (So., Roy, Utah/Roy H.S.) finished things for the T-Birds, taking over in the eighth when MCC's lead was just 2-1 and earning his third save.
The Thunderbirds edged in front with a run in the second after Bate was hit by a pitch and scored on a double by Jacob Boston (Fr., Chandler, AZ/Hamilton H.S.).
After EAC tied it in the fourth on an unearned run, MCC regained the lead in the bottom of the inning when Bate singled and scored on a double by James Anderson (So., Henderson, Nev/Coronado H.S.).
It remained tight until the eighth when Mesa erupted for four, including four hits and RBIs by Morimoto, Bate and Logan Etherington (Fr., Las Vegas, Nev/Faith Lutheran H.S.).
The T-Birds will have Wednesday off. The scheduled game with the Arizona State University Club Team has been canceled.
MCC will host Madison (Wisc.) Thursday at 3:00 p.m.

A New Approach to Luxury
In a recent article discussing the release of Burberry's challenging financial results, Bloomberg reported some striking news. In addition to strategic changes taking place within the world of Burberry to combat stagnant revenue growth, Chief Executive Officer, Christopher Baily, unveiled plans to build a new manufacturing and weaving facility in Leeds, England to produce the label's signature trench coats. Burberry follows other European luxury retailers, including LVMH and Prada who are investing in dedicated manufacturing capacity in the face of soft trading conditions.

When we first started sponsoring a Compassion child in Colombia five years ago, we were eager to learn more about that country.
We found Colombia on the globe and read more about the country where our sponsored child lives. As we were learning about Colombia, I thought this would be a great way to learn more about all of the countries where Compassion is working.
I created a pretty simple printable for us to discover more about each of the countries where Compassion is working through the local churches to release children from poverty in Jesus' name. Since that time, I have been wanting to create something to share with others to help them on their own journey to help educate their children about the countries where Compassion is making a difference.
With help from my creative husband for adding the fun doodles, I now have an Explore Their World Printable to share with you! By clicking on the above image, you can access this printable to use with your own family.
In the future, I hope to add a few more printable images covering a few other topics to help your family build a relationship with your sponsored child. Enjoy exploring!

They're putting finishing touches on Mall of America field today — literally.
Painters are applying the field markings and logos on the turf in the Metrodome for the last time this week, ahead of what will be the last season for the Vikings in the stadium.
"Straightest lines in the NFL," said Leo Pidde, the Metrodome's manager of building services. "We'll be touching it up during the year, because there's wear on but this is it, the last season."
He said the field has been painted hundreds of times since 1982, when the building opened. It's been less so lately, since the Gophers moved football back to campus and the Twins moved to Target Field.
A crew of three is working on it today. Painter Wayne Enger said it takes as long as a week to completely paint the field, although it can be rushed through in half a day. Maintenance personnel will put more than 40 gallons of paint on the turf ahead of Friday's game.
"Art? Well there's a little bit of talent, but I call it paint by numbers," said Ken Yanish, who's been painting the field for about 15 years. "You put out your blocker, and follow the numbers."
And it may very well be his last paint job ever for the Vikings. Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority Chair Michele Kelm-Helgen said the new stadium that is set to break ground this fall may have interchangeable turf with inlaid markings.
"There's some melancholy, looking at the Dome coming down, " she says, "although everyone is so excited about the new stadium that we're building that everybody seems to be looking forward."
The last game in the Dome is likely to be played in January, and demolition of the Metrodome is expected to start about six weeks later.

Shifter's 21st issue, Other Spaces, considers the body as a site where architecture's traditional polarities of private and public collapse. This polarity, mirrored in the distinctions we draw between individual and social freedoms and domestic and political action are challenged every day by spontaneous, collaborative re-imaginings of space.
"Other Spaces" considers the body as a self-sufficient albeit precarious architecture. It not only builds, but also becomes the very material with which to build. Tremulous bodies alone and together flout the sacred dictum that not only divides private and public space but also interior and exterior space, improvising and instituting another space that was always and already here.
This issue of Shifter invites artists, writers and critical thinkers to reflect upon and imagine those other spaces that are coming to be and that are yet to be imagined in the social transformations of our present. Other Spaces may appear to be an Atlas, but it may just as well be read as a diary.

If you frequently travel via air and find yourself waking up in a new city every week, consider using TripIt to make traveling that much easier.
If you travel by land and find yourself driving around town to meet clients, to various courts hearings, or even just commuting to and from work, check out some of these smartphone apps.
Android users, check out Tasker
Tasker can be programmed for all sorts of tasks (not necessarily limited to driving). It can do tasks based on your location. For example, when you approach your car in the parking ramp, it will automatically send a text to your significant other to let them know you are leaving.
You can also program it, based on location, to start reading any text messages you receive out loud. Helpful for keeping your eyes on the road.
Another useful app is called ParkDroid. The app can help you find parking ramps or spots and it will also remember where you parked. To top it off, it can also remind you when your meter is about to run out. Great stuff for the mobile attorney.
iPhone users should try AAA TripTik
TripTik can help you find the nearest gas station and also let you know what the current prices are. If you find yourself constantly driving to new locations, that is an excellent feature to have in your pocket.
The app also provides voice navigation so that you can keep your eyes on the road instead on your phone. If you shake your phone, the app will tell you what your next turn should be. Very nice.
Of course, use all of these apps with caution—and keep your eyes on the road!

The 20 images you're about to see are beyond explanation. These completely random and bizarre photos can best be summarized by one phrase: "You just had to be there." It would almost be impossible to deduce why things happened they way they did. Why is that man covered in bread? Is that chimp drunk? What is going on here? (Prepare yourself. Things are going to get a little weird.)
1.) Hey, tigers like hot tubs, too.
2.) … I can't even…
3.) I think he had a rough night.
4.) Rough day?
5.) Tigger crossed a line.
6.) Is that Bird Man? Or Bread Man?
7.) "I love daddy. Why would daddy do this to me?"
8.) This is not how you treat cacti.
9.) Just let this scene sink in.
10.) This happy family is going to give me nightmares.
11.) The only thing a man needs are his chickens.
12.) Oh deer…
13.) Soooo, what exactly are they gazing lovingly at?
14.) Sharing is caring!
15.) Wild thing. You give me nightmares.
16.) I have no idea what is going on here, nor do I want to.
17.) This student wasn't especially quick, but he tried hard.
18.) Cartoon characters run the world.
19.) This fox couldn't believe how long the line was for the ATM.
20.) Hi-ho, Silver, awayyyyy!
(H/T Bored Panda) This is just more confirmation that we live in a strange place. The next time you're walking down the street and you see a fox patiently waiting in line at the ATM, don't question it. Just take a picture and keep on walking. Share these oddities with others, we think they'll get a kick out of it.

Diospyros mosieri S.F.Blake
Diospyros virginiana is a persimmon species commonly called the American Persimmon,[1] Common Persimmon,[2] Eastern Persimmon, "'Simmon", "Possumwood", or "Sugar-plum".[3] It ranges from southern Connecticut/Long Island to Florida, and west to Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Kansas. The tree grows wild but has been cultivated for its fruit and wood since prehistoric times by Native Americans.
Diospyros virginiana grows through 20 m (66 ft), in well-drained soil. In summer, this species produces fragrant flowers which are dioecious, so one must have both male and female plants to obtain fruit. Most cultivars are parthenocarpic (setting seedless fruit without pollination). The flowers are pollinated by insects and wind. Fruiting typically begins when the tree is about 6 years old.
The fruit is round or oval and usually orange-yellow and sometimes bluish and from 2 through 6 cm (0.79 through 2.4 in) in diameter. In the U.S. South and Midwest, the fruits are referred to as simply Persimmons or "'Simmons", and are popular in desserts and cuisine.
Commercial varieties include the very productive Early Golden, the productive John Rick, Miller, Woolbright and the Ennis, a seedless variety. Another nickname of the American Persimmon, 'Date-plum' also refers to a persimmon species found in South Asia, Diospyros lotus.
It is a small tree usually 30 through 80 feet (10 through 24 meters) in height, with a short, slender trunk and spreading, often pendulous branches, which form a broad or narrow, round-topped canopy. The roots are thick, fleshy and stoloniferous. This species as has a shrubby growth form.[4] This plant has oval entire leaves, and unisexual flowers on short stalks. In the male flowers, which are numerous, the stamens are sixteen in number and arranged in pairs; the female flowers are solitary, with traces of stamens, and a smooth ovary with one ovule in each of the eight cells—the ovary is surmounted by four styles, which are hairy at the base. The fruit-stalk is very short, bearing a subglobose fruit an inch in diameter or a bit larger, of an orange-yellow color, ranging to bluish, and with a sweetish astringent pulp. It is surrounded at the base by the persistent calyx-lobes, which increase in size as the fruit ripens. The astringency renders the fruit somewhat unpalatable, but after it has been subjected to the action of frost, or has become partially rotted or "bletted" like a medlar, its flavor is improved.[5]
The tree is very common in the South Atlantic and Gulf states, and attains its largest size in the basin of the Mississippi River.[5] Its habitat is southern, it appears along the coast from New York to Florida; west of the Alleghenies it is found in southern Ohio and along through southeastern Iowa and southern Missouri; when it reaches Louisiana, eastern Kansas and Oklahoma it becomes a mighty tree, one hundred fifteen feet high.[4]
Its fossil remains have been found in Miocene rocks of Greenland and Alaska and in Cretaceous formations in Nebraska.[4]
D. virginiana is believed to be an evolutionary remnant of the megafauna that roamed the North American continent until 10,000 years ago and would have eaten the fruit, assisting in its dispersal. However, as it is attractive to raccoons, rodents, and smaller animals, the loss of large grazing herbivores and omnivores in historical times has not seriously affected the tree's survival strategy as compared to Kentucky Coffeetree and Osage Orange which are inedible to most extant wildlife and saw their ranges greatly diminish without mastodons and other dispersal agent fauna.
The peculiar characteristics of its fruit have made the tree well known. This fruit is a globular berry, with variation in the number of seeds, sometimes with eight and sometimes without any. It bears at its apex the remnants of the styles and sits in the enlarged and persistent calyx. It ripens in late autumn, is pale orange with a red cheek, often covered with a slight glaucous bloom. One joke among Southerners is to induce strangers to taste unripe persimmon fruit, as its very astringent bitterness is shocking to those unfamiliar with it. Folklore states that frost is required to make it edible, but fully ripened fruit lightly shaken from the tree or found on the ground below the tree is sweet, juicy and delicious. The peculiar astringency of the fruit is due to the presence of a tannin similar to that of Cinchona. The seeds were used as buttons during the American Civil War.[6]
The fruit is high in vitamin C. The unripe fruit is extremely astringent. The ripe fruit may be eaten raw, cooked or dried. Molasses can be made from the fruit pulp. A tea can be made from the leaves and the roasted seed is used as a coffee substitute. Other popular uses include desserts such as persimmon pie, persimmon pudding, or persimmon candy.
The fruit is also fermented with hops, cornmeal or wheat bran into a sort of beer or made into brandy. The wood is heavy, strong and very close-grained and used in woodturning.[5]
The tree prefers light, sandy, well-drained soil, but will grow in rich, southern, bottom lands. It can be grown in northern Ohio only with the greatest of care, and in southern Ohio its fruit is never edible until after frost.[4]
The tree is greatly inclined to vary in the character and quality of its fruit, in size this varies from that of a small cherry to a small apple. Some trees in the south produce fruit that is delicious without the action of the frost, while adjoining trees produce fruit that never becomes edible.[4]
It was brought to England before 1629 and is cultivated, but rarely if ever ripens its fruit. It is easily raised from seed and can also be propagated from stolons, which are often produced in great quantity. The tree is hardy in the south of England and in the Channel Islands.[5]
In respect to the power of making heartwood, the persimmon rarely develops any heartwood until it is nearly one hundred years old. This heartwood is extremely close-grained and almost black, resembling ebony (of which it is not a true variety).[4][7]
It is a common misconception persimmon fruit needs frost to ripen and soften. Some, such as the early-ripening varieties "pieper" and "NC21"(also known as "supersweet"), easily lose astringency and become completely free of it when slightly soft at the touch—these are then very sweet, even in the British climate. On the other hand, some varieties (like the very large fruited "yates", which is a late ripening variety) remain astringent even when the fruit has become completely soft (at least in the British climate). Frost, however, destroys the cells within the fruit, causing it to rot instead of ripen. Only completely ripe and soft fruit can stand some frost; it will then dry and become even sweeter (hence the misconception). The same goes for the oriental persimmon (Diospyros kaki), where early frost can severely damage a fruit crop.

What is Microneedling?
While Botox, Dysport and Dermal Filler are great anti-aging treatments, Microneedling is another tool to combat the aging skin. Microneedling, also knows as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure to combat the anti-aging process. The treatment helps to lift and tighten the skin while also improving texture and tone. This treatment has minimal downtime and is great for all skin types and tones. Many patients combine Botox, Dysport and Dermal fillers with the Microneedling procedure to get a quintessential outcome.
How Does Microneedling Work?
The Microneedling pen creates a pattern of microchannels in the skin (punctures), under the skin the microchannels initiate the bodies natural healing process which rejuvenates the dermis. Microneedling helps eliminate pigmentation spots and pores; soften fine lines and wrinkles; minimizes acne scarring; lift, tighten and rejuvenate the skin. The injury to the skin stimulates the body to create new collagen and regenerate the elastin. We are able to perform the Microneedling procedure using medical grade depths as opposed to spa grade depths which provides a more superior treatment. Throughout the procedure hyaluronic acid serum and PRP (see below for more information on PRP) is applied to the skin which is absorbed through the microchannels that were created which helps to replenish the skins moisture reservoir, restores firmness and elasticity, while providing significant skin improvement beyond using a standard moisturizer.
*Individual results may vary
What is PRP (Platelet-rich Plasma)?
Platelets are best known for their importance in clotting the blood. Platelets also play an important role in healing the skin as they contain hundreds of proteins called growth factors. Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentrate of platelet-rich plasma protein derived from whole blood, centrifuged to remove red and white blood cells. When you remove the red and white blood cells you are left with plasma, which has a greater concentration of growth factors.
These additional growth factors can stimulate the healing of soft tissue, build collagen and elastin. It can also increase the healing time of the microneedling procedure, as well as increase treatment results.

Long-time sufferers of acne know how uncomfortable and embarrassing it can be. New treatments seem to pop up all of the time, but few of them treat acne at the source, eliminating bacteria on the surface of the skin. Win your battle against acne and try our advanced Acne Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) reduction treatment.
Acne is usually caused by overactive sebaceous glands that can produce too much oil, clogging the pores. When the pores are clogged and acne-causing bacteria is present, skin can develop blackheads, whiteheads, and acne inflammation. The dual light design of the Active Acne IPL is able to treat advanced cases of acne deep in the pores, while also preventing new outbreaks before they start.
In order to stop acne at the source, the Intense Pulsed Light penetrates through the skin to destroy bacteria and reduce inflammation. This SmartPulse technology, allows us to treat both the cause and symptoms of acne. Venus Versa uses a dual light treatment to combine blue and red light technologies to treat all aspects of acne. The blue light destroys acne causing bacteria, and the red light reduces inflammation to promote quick healing for existing acne. The AC Dual applicator also features a cooling system to protect skin from the heat of the light, keeping you safe and comfortable during the procedure. For optimal results, a series between eight to ten treatments, twice a week, usually spaced 3 or 4 days apart.
At the start of the treatment, you will be given protective eyewear to protect you from the flashes of bright light. A cool gel is applied to the treatment area and acts as a barrier on the skin to avoid any additional damage to the skin. The skin care specialist will then apply pluses of bright light to the skin through a hand piece. These procedures depending on the size of the treatment area can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour.
Our staff at Dallas Anti-Aging & Wellness is passionate about making patients feel confident in themselves and their appearance. We use revolutionary technologies to give patients youthful, rejuvenated skin quickly and affordably. If you are interested, contact us today!

How often do you see a  news article with the title –
A US Furniture Manufacturer Implements Lean Production.
It's really exciting to see a report about a U.S. company investing to upgrade their facility, especially in a down economy, when all you usually read is bad news!
Companies are starting to realize that many of their customer service issues can be traced back to their facility and production systems. The solution and capability to eliminate the root cause of their problem already exists inside their own facility. The solution is to train their employees to "work smarter, not force them to work harder!†They need some basic problem solving tools to allow them to improve their workplace. In doing this, the management team will see the manufacturing systems run efficiently and become more effective at servicing their customer's needs. This is a win-win scenario for the company and their customers because they will be able to continue to generate revenues to support their employees and business interests.
Here is a great article I found in the Rome Sentinel about Harden Furniture Co. that has invested $3 million to improve their facility and production capabilities. Enjoy the article!
Furniture Manufacturer Implements Lean Production
The Harden Furniture Co. plans to invest as much as $3 million to install state-of-the-art woodworking equipment and engineering software later this year as it upgrades its facility and introduces additional lean manufacturing practices..
The upgrade is expected to occur in several phases. The first phase will be operational prior to the end of 2012 and will include a "batch one" manufacturing cell supported by a new Holtzer CNC machining center and replacement of the roughmill with a Weinig optimizing system..
Harden's manufacturing facility utilizes a batch process for most woodworking operations and the modernization will convert several product lines to a lean manufacturing/just-in-time process. The anticipated benefits include shorter production lead times, an increased ability to customize existing designs and reduced operating costs. In addition, Harden has begun offering the Cabinetmaker's Cherry Collection in solid black walnut as the new process will allow consumers to choose alternate hardwoods..
The introduction of additional hardwoods compliments what has been "a unique and popular Harden quality — the opportunity to select from over 40 distinctive finishes," the company noted. The conversion of Harden's cabinetmaking operation to "batch one" expands custom capabilities and aligns all manufacturing processes with a more efficient lean model..
According to President and Chief Executive Officer Greg Harden, the investment will "establish Harden as one of the few furnishings manufacturers world-wide that has 'one off' and true custom capabilities.".
Harden Furniture manufactures high-end residential and commercial furnishings..
I take my hat off to the management team at Harden Furniture Co. because a furniture manufacturer implements lean production system is not an everyday occurrence. Â It was inspiring and enjoyable to read about their $3 million investment to upgrade their facility.
They are continuing to follow a strong tradition of innovation amidst a world economy that is fraught with doubt and angst for most business owners and management teams.

Developed by the World Animal Protection (WAP), the code has brought animal lovers' attention to the fact that many Amazonian animals have been taken from the wild so tourists can take selfies to post on social media.
In Thailand, there have been recent controversies over animal selfies, in particular after tourists were seen posing with a tiger that was restrained and repeatedly prodded with a stick to make it roar.
The code advises people to take photos with wild animals only when the animals are in their natural habitat and free to move around. And for their own safety, tourists are also advised to keep a safe distance from the animals.
The code also tells tourists to not take wildlife selfies when animals are being held, hugged or restrained.
According to the WAP, people staging wildlife selfies for tourists in the Amazon search the treetops for sloths, which are captured and put on display. These typically calm, gentle animals are taken from their natural habitats, forced to live in noisy, chaotic environments, and repeatedly passed from tourist to tourist.
Among the 34 billion images posted by 700 million people on Instagram, the WAP estimates that there are tens of thousands of selfies taken with wild animals. These photos capture moments of shared joy for many people, but many elide the animals' stress and suffering in such situations.
Recognising the impact on wild animals, Instagram last month launched a new "wildlife warning" page.
When Instagram users search for hashtags like #koalaselfie, #elephantride and #slothselfie, a message pops up, informing them about the animals' suffering that has taken place to enable such a photo to be taken.
The WAP has described Instagram's move as "amazing" and credited it to the more than 250,000 people who have signed up to support WAP Wildlife Selfie Code.
Peter Mason, acting director of World Animal Protection Thailand, said recently that WAP operations covering not just the selfie code but many more campaigns had already improved the lives of more than 1.7 billion animals across the world.
In Thailand for example, the WAP sent food and medicine to be provided to livestock and other animals in several flood-hit areas last year.

Summer 2010
The club's inaugural season was in Summer 2010, where they posted a very average 4-4-0 regular seaons record to earn 7th Place in the 14-team PASL Men's B1 Division. The club advanced to the 8-team playoffs, but was eliminated in the first round by eventual runner-up, SGV Crew.
In August 2010, in just its second game, the club made Facebook headlines with a season-ending injury to mediocre midfielder and RAfc player-coach Bryan Chenault, who tore both his ACL and meniscus during a botched goal-scoring effort/collison with the opposing goalkeeper. Chenault made an unexpected return to the team in the Summer post-season, hobbling on for the final 2 minutes of a 3-0 loss. The 36-year-old is currently attempting to play the Fall season without two major ligaments before undergoing invasive surgery in mid-December. He is expected to return to full health for the Summer 2011 season, following six months of knee rehabilitation and sports-related anger management classes.
RAfc usually plays a 2-3-1 formation with a withdrawn striker. Real Average FC's initial season was characterized by poor ball control, general lack of match fitness, laissez-faire attitude, and missing players, but was buoyed by outstanding goalkeeping by Steve "Bloody Knees" Weatherby and opportunistic, counter-attack goals by attacking trio Nic Bowers, Tommy Brockert and Ian Broucek, known by fans as "The Killer B's". In its first season, the club took the following honors: Most Winded (in a game), Best Uniform, Best Logo and Most Likely to Improve.
Other founding players of RAfc include:
–defender Dan "The Rhino" Flores
–defender Casey Ryder
–defender/midfielder Mohammed "I haven't eaten in 40 days, but I feel good" Choudhury
–midfielder Matt "I don't feel so good. I had Eggs Benedict for breakfast like a half an hour ago" Goldman
–midfielder Dan "I don't feel so good. I just had a huge burrito" Oh
–midfielder Colin Beswick
RAfc's uniform sponsor for the season was Nike.
Fall 2010
RAfc is currently one of the 8 charter franchises of the PASL Men's B2 Division.
New additions/much-needed reinforcements for the Fall 2010 season include:
–goalkeeper Mike Andric
–midfielder Chris Upton
–midfielder/forward Jason Phillips
RAfc's uniform sponsor for the season changed from Nike to Adidas after Game 3.
RAfc's is the official Team Photographer is Weston DeBoer.
RAfc routinely draws an average crowd of 3 WAGs (Wives And Girlfriends) per match, tops in the league.
RAfc currently does not have a mascot, although they're now trying to think of one.

-Love the "Chicken Song" on the second one!
See what a typical day is like for an English teacher in Shanghai, China.
i taught children in jiashan, china for 3 weeks for an english language camp to help introduce them to the english language. the students i were responsible for were 1st and 2nd graders, so it made it quite the challenge, but i think i got through to them in the end.
this vlog is the first ive ever created, so any comments good or bad would be appreciated.
EDIT - January 2010:
first and foremost. thank you. 18,000 views later, i never would foresee this video being my most watched. i have 20+ other videos on youtube, but the view count on this one trumps them all.
i get a lot of criticism for this video, both good and bad. below is a reply i posted to someones comment and it kind of gives an update to what im up to now.
this video was my first video ever made. it was made for entertainment purposes. it was made to mainly show my closest family and friends what i was up to at the time since it was my first time in a foreign country.
16,000+ views later, i never realized that this video would be taken so seriously and perceive me as being a "snobbish," and "conceited" person who "should feel bad for wasting the time" of young children who should be actually learning something.
however, those who know me most would never use those words to describe me and would think the exact opposite of me. those who have viewed the other 21 videos that ive posted would know that as well.
i know that i may have a sarcastic point of view, but at the time, iwas 23 years old with no future set.
but since then, ive been an english teacher in japan and the students have made me realize how important i am to their lives. there's been no greater feeling in the world and the im glad to have the kind of impact that ive had on them.
i get a lot of comments about this video saying that i should be teaching, and that im wasting their time, etc etc etc...
..but this is my experience. this are my eyes thats viewing whats going on. i know i will always get criticism for this video. but on the last day i was there at that school, EVERY student cried. i cried. everyone cried. because the experience we shared together could never be recreated. i loved teaching the students, and they loved having me as a teacher. i didnt know how to teach at the time, but i must have been doing something right for me to have the kind of respect they had for me.
I DIDNT GET PAID FOR THIS. i did it because i wanted to do something important for other people. youre right, i didnt know what i was doing. but somewhere there, there was a need for me and i tried my share the culture that i have. i did more than the "chicken song" and "head shoulder knees and toes," but it showed how cute the students are and thats why i didnt show any actual teaching in the video. that wasnt the purpose of me making it.
teaching here was one of the best experiences ive ever had. it was eye-opening and made me realize how hard it can be in other places. i taught because the students gave me the motivation to. i couldnt be more thankful.
thats all i have to say about this video. i may look like a bad teacher. but only i know what went on and nothing can change how i feel about this experience. theres another 400+ hours thats missing from this video.
fill it with your own experience and post it. its all i ask.

The organizational psychologist assists with motivation, training, communication and other job-related issues to help keep employees happy and businesses running smoothly. Read on to learn more about job duties and outlook, salaries and education for organizational psychologists.
Psychology as a field involves the study of human and animal behavior. General organizational psychology, also known as industrial-organizational psychology, involves the use of scientific methodology to enhance the effectiveness, productivity and satisfaction of employees in the work environment.
Industrial-organizational (I/O) psychologists may help businesses deal with a variety of issues, including recruiting and placement, employee morale and motivation, leadership development and organizational change. They may also be responsible for training and evaluating staff members, analyzing job descriptions and managing conflicts. Most I/O psychologists have excellent communication skills and an ability to relate to others.
Completion of a degree program in organizational psychology may help you prepare for a position with a corporation, government agency, research institution or consulting firm. As an I/O psychologist, you may also work in the human resource department of a large company.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment opportunities for industrial-organizational psychologists are expected to increase by 53% between 2012 and 2022, which is significantly faster than average. As of May 2013, the median annual wage for industrial-organizational psychologists was $80,330 (www.bls.gov).
According to the BLS, a master's degree in a relevant field of study is the minimum educational requirement for working as an I/O psychologist. Completing a doctoral program can also prepare you for a career as a university professor. Admission into a graduate I/O psychology program is competitive. It may be advantageous to hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, rather than a bachelor's degree in a related field, when applying to a graduate program, such as a Master of Business Administration in Organizational Psychology.
A master's degree program generally takes two years to complete and includes studies in personnel law and selection, statistical research methods and performance appraisal, as well as the application of chaos theory in organizations. Some of these programs are available in an online format.
The Society for Industrial & Organizational Psychology reports that some states expect I/O psychologists to be licensed; clinical, counseling and school psychologists are also required to obtain licensure (www.siop.org). Educational requirements include a doctoral degree in the field.

Bulldogs Blog
Georgia's Vance may get chance on line
ATHENS, Ga. — It may only be Western Carolina this week, but Vince Vance believes performing well in Saturday's game will be crucial for him.
The sophomore offensive tackle played sparingly in Georgia's first two games, but he stands to see more playing time on Saturday. If he acquits himself well, even against the Division I-AA Catamounts, he may see the field more frequently in the near future.
"We feel like Vince is getting closer to earning more playing time regardless," Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "Vince did a nice job (against South Carolina)."
The 6-foot-8 junior college transfer was injured in his first spring in Athens and lost the race for the starting left tackle spot to Trinton Sturdivant. The true freshman has done a passable job thus far, Richt said, but has also had a handful of missed assignments.
Meanwhile, Vance fared well in the series he played last week, grading out at 80 percent.
He understands that not practicing hard enough has cost him playing time, but is attempting to change that this week.
"Really, it's all up to me — how I practice," said Vance, who is working solely at left tackle in practice. "Every coach says how you practice is how you play and when the coaches put me in, I just want to be ready."
Vance's situation is similar to that of several Bulldogs angling for increased playing time as the year wears on. Richt identified Georgia's young tight ends and safety Quintin Banks in that group, as well as a pair of Vance's offensive line mates — Clint Boling and possibly Kiante Tripp.
A versatile true freshman, Boling is actually Georgia's top backup at both right guard and right tackle. He has appeared in both of the Bulldogs' first two games and should see considerable playing time against Western Carolina.
"I think he deserves probably a little bit more of a rotation," Richt said. "Regardless of who you're gonna play next, I think those guys have earned that. Anybody else across that front line right now is still kind of up in the air."
But when asked about Tripp, Richt included him as someone he'd like to see more of this week. The 6-foot-6 redshirt freshman has been an offensive tackle for only about a month after spending his first year in Athens at defensive end.
He played the position in high school and his coaches complimented him early on for the way he picked it back up when he made the switch in mid-August. His build is still closer to that of a defensive end, somewhat less than his coaches would like for him to play offensive line, but Richt said he still may get his chance.
"You've got a guy that weighed in the 265 range or so and all of a sudden he's a bit small for the position we're asking him to play," Richt said. "But it would be great to get him an opportunity."
Playing well against a clearly inferior opponent can only prove so much for one of the developing players. But game reps are harder to come by for unproven players in big games.
If one of the candidates for increased playing time performs well on Saturday, perhaps his name will be closer to the front of his coach's mind when a more dangerous opponent is on the opposite sideline.

e.l.f. makeup brushes - I'm generally not one to invest heavily in makeup brushes (or anything makeup related, if we're being honest) so when Quinn introduced these to me I was so excited. $3 for a brush? So when I inevitably drop it in a sink full of water and ruin it I won't feel too bad about it. And they still look nice and work well! Link is to my BFF stipple brush.
Nivea crème - Most important, this thick crème is rich and creamy, and not greasy (though it takes a little while to dry.) And I feel like Greta Garbo or Grace Kelly about using lotion from a glass jar. There's something old school glam about it.
Attached garages - This was a thing that I didn't want when we bought a house. It wasn't something I was going to be all up in arms about, but I would have rather not have had one. Mostly a security issue. Turns out, I like the attached garage. I'm still very mindful of the security aspect but I also really like being able to go get stuff out of or put things in my car in my jammies. In the apartment, when I inevitably realized that I'd left something I needed in the car, I would have to put on real clothes/shoes and walk across our considerable parking lot to get to our garage. Now I don't even put on pants.
Prague - I was in Prague this summer, and I have to say it's basically my favorite place in the history of places. (If you want to hear about my European adventure the posts are all in one spot.) I loved the fact the oldness of everything, but then it seemed like it was full of young Czechs who make it vibrant and fun. The Czech Republic as a whole is heavy on history (and sometimes sorrow) and I was thrilled to walk the streets and learn all about it. Time for some gratuitous Prague pictures? Hell to the yes. -For the record, my second favorite place that I saw on that trip was Dresden. There is not an old building in that city, but you wouldn't know it if you didn't know it's history. I was so ready to see ghosts that day, and I don't even believe in ghosts. -

Goodbye rice krispy treats
Strawberries & cream smash crispy are AMAZING.
Not what I expected
It didn't occur to me that SmashMallow made rice krispie treats. You would think I would have been smart enough to understand what was meant by crispy but, alas, I was not. I was expecting marshmallows and received these instead. However, despite being disappointed at not receiving what I expected, they are extremely tasty.
Smashcrispy Churros
Love them. I have celiac and these tasty gluten free treats are a perfect snack.
Low-Calorie Dessert Satisfies Sweet Craving
First-time dieter here. Your sweet but low-cal treat is the PERFECT snack to end the day. I hope I can find these in a store nearby since I bought the first two boxes at a discount online.
Hi Lynn, so glad you're enjoying SMASHCRISPY! It's available nationally at Whole Foods, as well as in select Walmart and regional grocery locations.
Delicious treats!

|Abbas Kiarostami at the 65th Venice
Film Festival courtesy of Mansour Nasiri
In the paper published on the acclaimed Film International website, Buckle describes Kiarostami's filmmaking methods and ideals as being very much reflective of the style of post-Second World War Italian Neorealism. Neorealism is a form of cinema used to portray the hardships of everyday people by exploring social, cultural and economic issues from their perspective. Kiarostami creates a distinctive form of filmmaking to get at the 'truths' of contemporary Iranian life and a strand of modern Neorealism emerges.

This week, three houses that couldn't be more different from each other. In historic Hancock Park, a madly over-decorated Spanish on North June Street that once belonged to actor Paul Muni, just down the street from a more austere Craftsman/Mission with a great pool.
Last week we had a look at properties in lower Marin County.
One of the best reasons for weekend open houses is the opportunity to see interesting architecture that someone else owns. Open this weekend, an early Cliff May house in Pacific Palisades we wrote about last year and now back on the market.
There's a lot of good Mid-Century architecture in the suburbs around San Francisco. We've left out the usual suspects— tract houses by Joseph Eichler— and here are three in Marin County from the period plus one completely new house worth seeing.
Whether you call them Spanish or Spanish Mediterranean, these houses are ubiquitous around Los Angeles, available in all price ranges and in varying condition.
Open House Report, SF Edition: Five Houses Open this Weekend, From the Sublime to the Not-So-Sublime
Three of the open houses are in Noe Valley, prime hunting ground for young couples with jobs down the Peninsula— the neighborhood is well-served by private transport companies— plus a cottage in a little-known enclave and a downtown condo. We'll let you decide on the sublime/ridiculous part in the comments.
Los Angeles doesn't have a monopoly on bad taste, but it often seems like the city is the nexus of highly individual tastes and money.
Looking at real estate? Here are four condominiums (and one tenancy-in-common) to visit this weekend.
There's so much great residential design in Los Angeles, and like the city itself, always in flux. Styles get revived, get tired, get renovated, and then look dated again, and depending on the economy, get renovated again. Here are five open houses this Sunday worth visiting even if you're not in the market. in Santa Monica, a Mid-Century whose 90s renovation is showing its age and a Post-Modern condo that's still looking OK.
Want to spend the weekend touring the best of San Francisco's on-the-market real estate? We recommend these five open houses: two classic San Francisco condominiums on the edge of Nob Hill— from the days when it was the place to live— and three in SOMA, one a suite in the St. Regis that's a short sale plus a pair of lofts in vintage warehouse renovations.

US markets flat as retail offsets debt concernsBy finance reporter Alicia Barry
Wall Street ended mixed after a rise in retail stocks offset investor worries about the US soon reaching its debt ceiling.
Retail sales rose more than forecast in December indicating Americans were able to overlook Washington's strained budget negotiations in the month and keep spending.
Commerce Department data showed purchases climbed 0.5 per cent, the biggest gain in three months, after November's spending was also revised higher.
Some wealthy US consumers face a drop in take-home pay when taxes rise as a result of a budget compromise reached in December.
Meanwhile, US president Barack Obama has warned the economy will suffer if Congress fails to raise the debt limit and agree on further budget cuts.
The US has been using emergency measures to pay its bills since the end of December to prevent a breach of the $US16.4 trillion debt limit.
The last time the US was on the brink of breaching the debt ceiling was August 2011, when markets tumbled ahead of a last minute agreement that averted default.
By the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 28 points, or 0.2 per cent, to 13,535.
The broader S&P 500 Index added 0.1 per cent to 1,472.
The technology focused Nasdaq Composite shed 0.2 per cent to 3,111.
Across the Atlantic, an official economic estimate shows Europe's largest economy, Germany, shrank in the final quarter of 2012.
The federal statistics office, Destatis, said the German economy contracted 0.5 per cent in the December quarter, but grew 0.7per cent in 2012.
Stocks in Europe were mixed.
The Euro Stoxx Index fell 0.5 per cent to 2,702.
London's FTSE 100 index managed a gain of 0.2 per cent to 6,117 after a choppy session where miners fell and retailers rose.
Germany's DAX lost 0.7 per cent to 7,676.
At 8:15am (AEDT) in Australia, the SPI futures contract was pointing to a loss of 3 points at the start of trade.
The Australian dollar was holding its ground against the greenback ahead of the looming battle in Washington over the US government's borrowing limit.
It was worth 105.61 US cents, it was also buying 79.33 euro cents, 65.72 British pence and 93.72 Japanese yen.
Spot gold prices were worth $US1,678.51 an ounce.
West Texas intermediate crude slipped to $US93.83 a barrel.

Whether it's raising awareness or calling citizens to action, technology has played a significant role in connecting people with a common goal of change. Messaging through email listservs, Facebook rally invites and change.org petitions are now the norm for many activists.
It all started in the 1990s and has continued to grow, most recently as a driving force in the London riots. With the Web 2.0 movement and social networking boom of recent years, just about everyone has a voice via the Internet — and many are using theirs to mobilize.
Here is a timeline of some key moments in online activism, most of which resulted in a physical protest or directly affected change. Do you remember where you were at these moments in history? Share your story in the comments below.

Over and Out
Stuart Bailie
Late Show Presenter
So what's the perfect goodbye song? I'm not sure there's anything as immense as Roy Orbison and 'It's Over'. The trembling delivery, the staggering beat, the swelling apprehension and worse. The girl has been untrue and she tells Roy that they're emphatically done. No more rainbows, only lonely sunsets. The song surges for the last time and the sorrow takes us to a hitherto unreachable summit of disconsolation. Even the stars are weeping in the sky
I may have mentioned Soft Cell before and the imperial 'Say Hello, Wave Goodbye'. Seek out the 12 inch version for the most lonesome clarinet solo, ever. But while Roy Orbison had a kind of dignity in despair, Marc Almond is more theatrical and less generous with his exit. He takes a few bitchy sideswipes as he stumbles out the doors of the Pink Flamingo and into the rain. But beyond the posturing, there's an ill-disguised heartbreak. David Gray used this in his version of the song. Then he had the smart idea of hitching it onto Van Morrison's 'Madam George' - the tune with the most protracted and soul-shredding outro in popular music. A hundred goodbyes, and it's still never enough.
Yet on the other side, there is resignation. You will find that on 'Do What You Gotta Do', a Jimmy Webb song that the Four Tops covered in 1969. It's a song about letting go of the lover and telling her to chase those dappled dreams elsewhere. There's a deal of self-possession at the beginning of the song and then it does something that I normally wouldn't care for. It starts to repeat the early verses. But on this recording, the effect is devastating. All of the poise starts to crack and the voices are faltering. They just about make it through the song before you hear grown men in tears.
We could talk about Scott Walker, Nina Simone or Edith Piaf, but our farewell tour ends with The Verve in 1995 and 'History'. Lyrics on loan from William Blake, handclaps by Liam Gallagher plus a billowing orchestra. It's the sound of Richard Ashcroft, lost in London, grieving from a break-up and singing the blues right out of the estuary mud. There was a Times Square sign on the single sleeve that read: "All Goodbyes Should Be Sudden". And sure enough, The Verve had fractured before the record was even released.
Anyway, I must go. Best wishes and everything. Adieu.

hold on to your protons. this could be huge…
As Professor Farnsworth would say, shocking news everyone! A new experiment says that we've consistently been overestimating the size of protons by about 3 × 10-14 millimeters, and the physicists who measured this discrepancy by tracking the motions of electrons' much heavier siblings, are clutching their chests in fear that they might've broken a law of physics. To us, who tend to measure the world in meters and kilometers, a tiny fraction of a millimeter might not sound like much until we remember that protons are really small. With a radius of just around a quadrillionth of a meter and a mass so small, it's measured in electron volts, even the slightest correction to its size makes a notable difference, especially as far as particle physics goes. Smaller protons mean that our calculations of electromagnetic forces on a quantum scale could be off and in need of some serious updating, possibly with some adjustments to the existing equations of the standard model.
But wait a second. Haven't we been smashing atoms in particle colliders for the past few decades to test the standard model and found it to be quite accurate? Well, yes. But that's the thing about scientists. They always want to keep testing. And in this case, a team of physicists wanted to hone in on the exact size of protons with an interesting experiment which involves muons orbiting around them and measuring the muon's energy as they swarmed around in an approximation of a hydrogen atom. We've encountered energy levels of electrons in atoms before when we talked about the tweak to the Lyman α surveys which failed to find some 90% of a vast spider web of galaxies astronomers expected to see in the night sky. Looking just one level up at the Hα line seems to have solved the whole problem. Likewise, when trying to measure the size of tiny particles, the energy levels of electron clouds, which depend on the size of the particles they orbit, can tell us just how big a subatomic particle might be. That's why this experiment used muons. Muons are identical to electrons except for their mass. Being some 200 times heavier, they're more sensitive to the proton's magnetic fields than their smaller and lighter cousins. And according to the muon's behavior, protons are 4% smaller than expected.
How do we reconcile a 4% error with hugely successful particle collider experiments show that the standard model should have a pretty good handle on certain basics like the near exact sizes and masses of fermions? The researchers aren't rushing to claim that they've shown a problem in particle physics just yet. Instead, they believe they might be wrong in their calculations and measurements, or there's something else at play when protons are orbited by clouds of muons rather than electrons. Of course the ultimate thrill would be to find that the standard model of particle physics is incomplete and rather than being the precursor to fully solidifying the work of particle physicists and slowing their research projects to a crawl after once again confirming what the model could predict, colliders might be used for new and intriguing insights into the world of elementary and subatomic particles. But that will only happen if physics could show that subatomic particles really don't seem to match the equations or our previous measurements. It may be that the proton experiment is an odd fluke or a result of errors in measurement on a scale at which the slightest imprecision can invalidate your work, but it could be more interesting if there's nothing wrong with the data and physicists have a chance to further refine their ideas of how the quantum world works with new experiments and better, more precise tools.

Envoy pilots approve new contract
Pilots of regional carrier, Envoy Air, voted in favor a new contract that allows the carrier to operate larger aircraft in exchange for pay scale freezes.
The 10-year contract is similar to an offer rejected by pilots in March. Since then, American Airlines, which owns Envoy, has been moving aircraft away from the regional airline to other carriers that operate American Eagle flights, essentially downsizing the carrier.
The Air Line Pilots Association, which represents the 2,400 pilots, said almost 92 percent of eligible pilots voted and of those, 75 percent voted in favor of the contract.
"Envoy management has the tools they require to make Envoy a viable carrier for years to come. The ball is clearly in management's court to deliver on the promises made to create a sustainable future for all employee groups," the union said in a statement.
Under the new deal, American said it will guarantee that 40 of its new 76-seat Embraer 175 jets will be flown by Envoy starting in the fourth quarter of 2015. American has options to buy an additional 90 E175 jets, and if it does, Envoy will operate those too.
"For our more than 14,000 employees, this agreement lays the foundation for a stronger company and more successful future at Envoy," said Envoy chief executive Pedro Fabregas in a letter to workers.
In exchange, the agreement freezes pay scales for pilots until 2018, with 1 percent annual pay increases after that. It includes a $12,500 signing bonus for captains and $7,500 for first officers. A profit-sharing plan has also been eliminated from the contract.
Envoy has also had difficulty hiring new pilots and keeping pilots as several larger airlines, including American, have been hiring pilots to staff schedules. Envoy has said it is losing about 20 pilots a month just to American as they move up to the mainline carrier.
The new contract provides for a direct career progression plan to transfer Envoy pilots to American's mainline operation, Fabregas said.
Envoy, formerly called American Eagle, is one of 10 regional carriers that American has contracted with to operate flights under the American Eagle brand and livery. American, as a result of its merger with US Airways, also owns two other regional airlines - Piedmont and PSA.
Here is the full statement from ALPA and the complete letter from Fabregas.
Today, Envoy Air pilots completed voting on the proposed changes to our Collective Bargaining Agreement. Of the 91.57% of eligible Envoy pilots who voted, 75% voted to accept these changes.
Ratification of these changes provide the forward-looking economics that American Airlines Group has requested from the Envoy pilots' in order to re-fleet the carrier. Envoy management has the tools they require to make Envoy a viable carrier for years to come. The ball is clearly in management's court to deliver on the promises made to create a sustainable future for all employee groups.
Moving forward, your MEC will continue working to find ways to improve the quality of life for our pilots. Whether you supported this agreement or not, it's time to move forward together. Now more than ever, it is critical that we remain unified and that we continue to look out for each other. Please remain engaged with your local council representatives and help us craft our path forward.
Thanks to everyone who participated in base visits, conference calls, or submitted questions via email. Your involvement was crucial to the process and allowed your leadership to speak on your behalf and present your position to management.
The pilots of Envoy Air, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, Int'l (ALPA), today ratified a tentative agreement reached with their management earlier this month on a contract that will help preserve the future of the airline and its employees. With more than 91 percent of eligible pilots casting ballots, 75 percent of Envoy pilots voted to ratify the agreement.
"The pilots were faced with an extremely difficult choice between two challenging outcomes," said Sam Pool, chairman of the Envoy pilot group. "While this deal represents a process that none of our pilots wanted and none would have voluntarily chosen, we endorsed it as the better alternative to the continuous dismemberment and outsourcing of our flying."
The new ten-year agreement includes an up-front cash payment for current Envoy pilots, a commitment for new aircraft, and a flow-through arrangement allowing Envoy pilots to be hired at American Airlines. The deal also contains cost savings from the current Envoy contract. Specific details of the agreement were not disclosed. The agreement takes effect immediately.
"Reaching this agreement was the result of an arduous year-long process that strained relations and trust between the pilot group and management," said Pool. "As we move forward, it's essential our current management team take proactive steps to repair significant damage to Envoy's culture and morale. With this vote, our pilots have chosen to have faith and trust in management providing a bright future here, and now it's time for management to deliver."
Dear Envoy team:
I am delighted to report our pilots have voted to ratify the Tentative Agreement (TA) reached earlier this month with the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), setting the stage for a new era of renewal and success at Envoy.
My sincere thanks to Envoy ALPA and its Master Executive Council (MEC) for their hard work and dedication that enabled us to reach this agreement. We also owe many thanks to our pilots for their careful consideration of the facts and for always conducting themselves with the utmost professionalism, throughout a lengthy negotiation process and during the recent voting period.
For our more than 14,000 employees, this Agreement lays the foundation for a stronger company and more successful future at Envoy. With a firm fleet commitment of 40 new fuel-efficient 76-seat Embraer 175 (E175) aircraft – and the opportunity to operate up to 90 more E175s, if American exercises those options – Envoy will soon offer a top-notch and cost-effective regional product for American and its customers.
For our pilots, this Agreement offers them new, large and modern aircraft to fly and faster career advancement at both Envoy and American Airlines. Envoy now offers all existing pilots, as well as future new hires, a direct career progression to the world's largest mainline carrier. With this agreement, Envoy has just become one of the premier regional airlines for qualified applicants seeking a long-term career as an airline pilot.
This fleet renewal will provide new opportunities across the company and there is much to do to prepare for the E175 aircraft deliveries starting later in 2015. Our Maintenance teams will be very busy overseeing all of these aircraft movements and developing new expertise for the new fleet. Our recruiting staff will likewise be busy, as we will need more pilots, flight attendants and ground handling capabilities to accommodate this growth. Larger aircraft will allow us to operate in more competitive markets and expand our footprint in American's network.
Exciting days are ahead and we have much work to do, and I can't think of a better way to end 2014 than by celebrating this outstanding development. I look forward to working together to make the most of these exciting new opportunities in 2015.
Thank you for all you do – for each other and our customers. I wish you all a safe, wonderful holiday and a happy New Year!
Pedro Fábregas, President & CEO

If you're looking for a little stocking-stuffer for a paddler, get a whistle. Canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards are all considered to be vessels, and as such, they are required to have some sort of "sound signal" device on board. For paddlers, a whistle is the easiest way to meet that requirement. You'll want to get a "pea-less" whistle – not the kind of whistle used by referees. If you get water in a referee whistle, it stops working. Prices are typically $5-10 for many of the whistles favored by paddlers. Low-profile/small size is appreciated since most paddlers attach their whistle to their life jackets.
You should be able to find whistles like the "Fox 40" at better outdoor stores and marine stores, but if you can't find something locally, I have several choices shown on my Amazon.com Local Associates page.

suggestions for setting up, color theme, ice sculptures, chocolate
fountains and centerpieces. When you hire Devring's to cater your
event you are getting the party planner in Margie as well.
Devring's Catering doesn't ever want to get caught up in the corporate chaos that can happen when a business takes on too much.
We know what it is like to try to work with providers on events and upon a follow up be told "I didn't work with you on this but I'll pass this on" or " I don't see that change but I'll note it" or the "which one is that?" scenario. It shakes my confidence when that happens. That should never happen when you are planning your big day. You should have no doubts that everything will be exactly the way you want it. And since your first and all contacts are with Margie, you can be confident that you are on the same page.
That is why Devring's will not double book a date. Marge & Bill insist that they are at every party, therefore only one event a day and some times only one on a weekend. We don't want you to come to your party tired, and you don't want your caterer to either. It is our name on the line.
