Can you help us at a critical time?
COVID-19 has brought tremendous suffering, uncertainty, fear, and strain to the world.
Our sincere wish is that these Buddhist teachings, guided practices, and stories can be a balm in these difficult times. Over the past month, over 400,000 readers like you have visited our site, reading almost a million pages and streaming over 120,000 hours of video teachings. We want to provide even more Buddhist wisdom but our resources are strained. Can you help us?
No one is free from the pandemic's impact, including Lion's Roar. We rely significantly on advertising and newsstand sales to support our work — both of which have dropped precipitously this year. Can you lend your support to Lion's Roar at this critical time?

With previous video player, there were limitations with things we wanted to do like lacking features, putting ads in the videos and just having random little issues. It wasn't very stable and I was not impressed with their support. The other requirement was fast loading and working with Vimeo, because all of our videos are hosted on Vimeo. When we came across FV Player it checked all of those boxes and was pretty highly regarded. Anytime I asked somebody looking for recommendations I came across that and it fulfilled all those requirements - since we've been using it, it's great. Thank you!

"House Democrats, amid a backlash from moderates, are backing away from a plan to block President Trump from extending new farm bailout funds," the Washington Post reports.
"The shift comes days after Democrats had sought to prevent the White House from expanding a major component of their farm bailout plan, which the White House has estimated could cost close to $30 billion. Trump had authorized the bailout funds in response to an outcry from farmers who claimed they were caught in the middle of his trade war with China. Democrats are likely to include legislation that would expedite payment of these funds as part of a must-pass spending bill as soon as this week."Save to Favorites

We celebrated closing the books on our fifth year in business on October 31, 2018. No small feat! About 20% of small businesses fail in their first year, and 50% of small businesses fail by their fifth year. Come on, Lucky 7!
Ups, downs, good quarters, less than good quarters…it's been quite a journey. My US call center, Everywhere Managed, celebrated three years on December 31st.
We made some big changes in 2018. The change that made the biggest impact on our business was implementing Traction. Our facilitator is Jamison West, and if you're looking for an EOS facilitator that has experience in the managed services space, you should probably have a chat with him next time you bump into him at a Connectwise event. If you're not familiar with the Traction process, pick up a copy of the book and check it out! It's completely changed our business, and I'm really excited for 2019.
The biggest change coming up in 2019 for Managed Sales Pros? We'll be losing our Director of Operations. She's retiring. She's also my Mom, and I can't tell you how much we're going to miss her around here. Sharon took a big risk to leave her job – she left behind her pension, her health insurance, and her life in Boston (and a four hour round trip commute, ugh!), to come and support our small telemarketing company. With her help we were able to grow at a much faster rate, and while we're slowly but surely finding ways to fill her shoes, there's really nothing like having the people you trust the most in the whole world on your team. Working with family can be hard – and while I'm going to miss having an extremely competent woman with an incredible work ethic on my team, I'm also really looking forward to just having my Mom back as my Mom.
So, as we get ready to wish Sharon a happy retirement, we're also getting ready to wish her a Happy Birthday, as that is her retirement day! Our family stopped exchanging gifts many years ago, and opts instead to donate to charity. Our recent charities of choice include:
The Bail Project helps those who are eligible for bail but who can not afford to pay for their bail and "freedom tax" (there is a fee that you must pay to remain out of jail as you await trial, even though you are presumed innocent).
Annunciation House is a charity in El Paso, TX that supports migrants who are ineligible for US benefits of any kind. The group is run primarily by volunteers, and entirely on donations.
Sharon also personally supports:
Rosie's place supports women in need of immediate shelter and meals, as well as those who require support with education, workforce readiness, and housing.
The Jimmy Fund/Dana Farber Cancer Research
Every year, Sharon walks a marathon distance to raise money for Team Brain Aid. Last year her team raised over 50,000 for brain cancer research.
So, in addition to supporting some of Sharon's favorite charities for her birthday/retirement, I'm also sending her a birthday card for every year she's been alive. I call it #65WaysIn65Days, and each card has a special memory of my Mom from sometime in the last 46 (where does the time go?) years of my life. If you'd like to send Sharon a birthday card (and I highly encourage you to do so, she really loves greeting cards!) you are welcome to send them to Sharon's Las Vegas office (make sure they're addressed to Sharon Lagace!) and we will make sure they get to her! The address:
Sharon Lagace
Director of Operations
Everywhere Managed LLC
1850 E Flamingo, Suite 201
Other exciting changes for our business this year:
Our virtual team was slowly migrated over to our Las Vegas office, and we closed out our remote call center practice.
Ashley Battel now leads our Managed Services M&A practice. He connects managed services companies who are looking to be acquired, or who are looking to acquire other MSPs. Email firstname.lastname@example.com if you'd like to chat with him!
Sierra Pope was promoted to the executive team, and has fully embraced her new role as Call Center Operations Manager. This means our US call center is 100% owned and managed by women. In the technology space this is almost unheard of. Sierra supports the day to day requirements of the call center, including on-boarding new clients, developing outbound programs and supporting the call floor. Congratulations, Sierra. (Sierra's also the proud Mom of an almost 2-year-old, and is getting married in July!)
2019 has started with a bang – we're on target, we've added even more amazing vendor and MSP clients to our roster, we're 100% on goal for the year, and we're looking forward to our best year ever. If you're located in Las Vegas, and you're looking for a new career, I encourage you to explore opportunities with our US sister company: Everywhere Managed. We're hiring, and we'd love to meet you!
Thank you to all of our clients, past and present, who helped us get here. Thank you to those who guided us along the way. I remain as always, grateful to the first companies who took a chance on us. Here's to an amazing 2019 for all of us.
I have the honour to be your obedient servant,
(I saw Hamilton like four times last year and I'll see it four more times this year, if the fates allow!)

Title: Always a King
Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing, all characters and original Roswell/Narnia (book and movie) verse settings belong to other very lucky people.
Pairings/Couples/Category: UC/Crossover. Liz/Edmund
Rating: Teen
Summary: Companion piece to Always. 50 line Character Study of Edmund.
Warnings: Contains hints of violence, romantic interactions although nothing graphic, angsty and happy just like Always.
A/N: So this was inspired by the Fifty Lines Challenge on Polar Attraction, but I cheated and changed some of the words so it doesn't quite count There will also be one entitled Always a Queen for Liz, and possible some other small pieces in this verse since my muse adores it.
Candy – After Aslan died, for him, even though he came back and they won and all was right in Narnia, he could never so much as look at Turkish Delight again, and the memory of the taste made him physically sick.
Green – The first green shoots of spring always made him smile, proof that no matter how long and hard winter was, it always passed.
Skin – Her skin was so soft and touched with gold, warmer than his pale alabaster color, and he never tired of watching it glow in the sun, or feeling it brush against him in the dark.
Lightening – The manner of his entrance to Narnia left a stain on his soul, the feel of evil lingering even after others had forgotten and forgiven, and it was her presence, her ceaseless efforts to make him smile, that finally lifted that burden until he was free again.
Hair – Long and flowing, her hair moved around her like a living thing, as beautiful and untamable as she was.
Smile – She collected smiles like others collected stones or coins, teasing, pushing, mocking, and laughing until one couldn't help but join her in her joy.
Sorrow – The devastation he felt when he realized she was gone was deep and unending, a dark pit of grief that swallowed him whole, his life void of the light she provided.
Lace – She knew he hated winter, even winter with Christmas, but she dragged him out of bed and made him look at the beautiful patterns of the snowflakes on the windows until he was so caught up in her fascination that he forgot all about witches and betrayal and aching loneliness.
Message – The paper smelled like her, like vanilla and jasmine and Narnia, and the familiar looping lines of her handwriting made him smile despite his irritation with Rabadash; he would be home soon, and she would be waiting.
Run – Laughter floated back to him on the wind and he doubled his speed, determined to catch her, and the pants she was holding; she was so going to pay for this.
Lost – Nothing made sense anymore, faces and places that should be familiar were foreign, the routine actions of day to day life mystified him, and without her he did not know who to be.
Ignorance – Ignorance truly was bliss, a bliss he wished for with every breath he took of gritty London air, with every schoolyard taunt, with every second not spent with her in Narnia.
Strike – He twisted his wrist and thrust, the sword sinking into the boggle with a satisfying squelch; another jumped onto his back, knife at the ready, and he felt a brief chill of fear until it suddenly fell, pierced through by Liz's sword as she grinned merrily at him.
Manipulate – The trip to Calormen with Susan when Rabadash proposed was not his first, the others didn't have his patience, his grasp of subtlety, so such tasks often fell to him, and sometimes he wished he had not had a reason to learn the art of politics.
Laugh – The sound of her laugh, warm and joyous and all encompassing, never failed to make him smile, and he did his best to incite the sound as often as possible.
Bed – The first time they shared a bed, his hands had trembled with nerves, but soon he could not sleep unless she was by his side; after they returned to London, the sight of his small, empty trundle made his heart shrivel in his chest and his hands shake for a different reason entirely.
Study – His parents were surprised by his sudden studious nature, as he had been an indifferent student at best before the trip to the Professor's house; they didn't know that trying to emulate her love of learning was the only thing that made him feel close to her.
Sacrifice – Learning of the cost of his freedom, of the price Aslan paid to the witch because of his foolish actions, was a horrified pain he never let himself forget.
Loyal – He sometimes doubted whether or not he deserved his title, but he never doubted her right to hers; she was faithful and true to the throne, to Narnia, and to him, and he said a silent prayer of thanks every day that he got to call her his.
Mother – The worry in his mother's eyes tugged at him, but it was too hard to pretend to be normal, to pretend that he was okay, when every single thing about this life was wrong.
Danger – Seeing the sword pointed at her, watching the slave traders tie rope around her slender wrists, it infuriated and terrified him, and only his well earned patience kept him from acting rashly to remove the threat to his wife.
Haunted – Every glimpse of dark eyes, of long brown hair, of an infectious smile, made his heart stutter with grief and loss and the knowledge that it wasn't her, that it would never be her again.
Sides – Though he reigned in Narnia for fifteen glorious years, he never forgot who he had served when he first arrived, and he never let himself forget the magic of forgiveness, or why he needed it.
Liar – Hiding her hands behind her back, she shook her head when he shot her a suspicious look after brushing the snow from his face, but her eyes were sparkling with merriment; he stalked towards her and grabbed her wrist before she could escape, smirking when he found tell tale icy crystals lingering on her soft skin, and claimed a kiss as penance..
Diamond – The diamond rings in the shop window stopped him in his tracks, pointed reminders of what and who he'd lost, and only Peter's firm but gentle hand was able to pull him away before he broke.
Crown – The crown always felt heavy on his head, a weight of responsibility and expectation he hadn't fully understood when he first accepted it, and a weight he could only hope he was worthy of bearing.
Surprise – He spluttered as he resurfaced, blinking the water out of his eyes and frowning in the general direction of his giggling wife; tricking him with a kiss, for shame.
Song – The tune Tumnus was playing on his pipes was merry and lilting, and watching Liz and Lucy dancing around him, giggling uncontrollably as they linked arms, made his heart jump unexpectedly.
Balcony – Something soft landed on his head and he looked up to see Liz leaning over their balcony, dropping down the other glove he'd forgotten, before blowing him a kiss and disappearing back inside, the warmth of her smile lingering behind.
Jump – His heart jumped into his throat when he heard the sailors call out about another person pulled out of the water and he sprinted for the deck, hoping against hope that it was her, that the long years of emptiness had finally come to an end.
Sleep – Her face was peaceful in sleep, as young and innocent as it had been their first time in Narnia, and he felt no shame as tears of joy trailed down his face while he watched the woman he'd almost lost hope of ever seeing again; his wife.
Dance – Lifting his arm, he spun her underneath it before pulling her close once more, knowing that his blinding smile matched her own as they danced for the first time as man and wife under the eyes of the entire court.
Torture – Breathing hurt, speaking hurt, moving hurt, living hurt, and every time he closed his eyes he saw her face, watched her lips frame words he couldn't hear, breaking his heart over and over again.
Possession – He felt possessed whenever he saw her, unable to speak a coherent word or move without tripping over his feet; it wasn't until Lucy gave him a knowing look and wink after he stumbled through a particularly embarrassing sentence, that he realized what he was feeling, and felt the first rush of fear that she might not feel it back.
Kiss – He still wasn't sure how she felt, didn't know if her hugs and teasing glances were in jest or real, but he knew he couldn't wait any longer to find out, and so he boldly pressed his lips against hers, relieved warmth spreading through his chest when she stepped into his arms and deepened the kiss.
Purge – After battle he could never go straight to celebration like Peter, always had to take a moment alone to rid himself of his demons, to fight the urge to be sick he still felt every time he spilled blood.
Trial – No one treated him like he couldn't be trusted, like he needed a period of probation before they welcomed him fully to Aslan's army, but he felt he needed to prove himself none-the-less, and flinched every time the witch's name was mentioned.
Battle – He had been afraid that he wouldn't be able to fight, that he would show weakness at the crucial moment, but when he saw the two dwarves chase after the girl who had made him smile, he lifted his sword and swung, before he even had time to think.
Rage – When they stepped through the wardrobe and all of their memories came rushing back, along with the realization that they were no longer five but four, he screamed and shoved his way back through the coats, pounding on the wood with his fists until they bled, and the others pulled him away, sobbing brokenly.
Tongue – Silver tongue she called him teasingly after he negotiated their first truce with the Calormenes, and rewarded him with a kiss that made his whole body tingle.
Bronze – The bronze weaponry at the Pitt Rivers museum at Oxford drew him like a moth to a flame, and he immolated himself daily with the memories and regrets they inspired.
Scars – His skin was young and flawless once more, the scars he'd earned in battle, physical representations of the life he had lived, all gone, and the sight of his petulant, innocent face in the mirror made him want to curse and break things.
Blind – She blew out the flame of the last candle, plunging the room into darkness, leaving them to rely on nothing but touch, taste, sound, and the magic of the two of them, moving together.
Respite – He took a breath, then another, the first moment of peace he'd had since they engaged the giants, and scanned the battle field for his brother, both glad and sad that Liz was safely ensconced with his sisters at Cair Paravel, far from danger but far from him.
Angel – She was a vision of perfection, lying on the deck soaking wet, gasping for breath, and he thought his heart would burst in his chest before he even touched her.
Body – The feel of her body against his, warm, trembling, and there, took his breath away, and the sounds of the sailors, of Caspian's confused voice, all faded away as he lost himself in her presence.
Hollow – Another student smiled at him, a blush rising up her cheeks when he smiled politely back, before fading into disappointment as he walked by without another glance; she wasn't the only girl to look at him like that, and he had learned to rely on empty smiles and distant dismissals, there was no room in his heart or head for anyone but her.
Command – The first time he led an army into battle on his own, without Peter by his side, he thought he was going to be sick, and only the white handkerchief Liz had tucked teasingly into his armor kept him from letting one of his generals take the lead; when they won, he tied the scrap of cloth to his sword pommel, where it remained until it was nothing more than a tattered bundle of threads.
Hold – When the brief but searing pain of the train crash faded, and he saw the green hills of Narnia once again, he held his breath, hands clenched into fists, until he saw a still form with dark hair lying in the grass and started to run.
Magic – Her face was older, her hair shorter, but the smile curving her lips was achingly familiar and when he reverently touched her cheek, those glorious brown eyes opened, brimming with joy as she pulled him on top of her, and he knew, he'd never have to let her go again; they were finally home.

Blair Oaks meeting discusses fall re-entry plan
WARDSVILLE — Blair Oaks Task Force hosted a meeting Thursday evening to discuss the plans for the fall semester.
Parents, teachers and local health officials attended the meeting that was open to public input.
"This actually is the second time this group's assembled," Blair Oaks R-II School District Superintendent Jim Jones said. "We assembled first on June the fourth as we presented our plans for our summer school of 2020."
Blair Oaks R-II School District did an in-person summer semester that began on June 22 and ended on July 16.
"What we wanted to do was allow some time to take a look, utilize the data that we had from summer school," Dr. Jones said.
After the summer session, the school district sent out surveys to parents, student and staff. The meeting presented the data that the task force used to talk about the reopening plan for the fall semester, which has yet to be released.
"We've accumulated a tremendous amount of information, have a very thorough plan, look forward to presenting to our group tonight and hearing the input," Jones said.
Amy Blaha, a parent and a teacher at Blair Oaks High School, attended the input meeting.
"We're trying to make sure that we keep our kids safe, our staff safe," Blaha said. "Blair Oaks is a family. You want your family to stay safe and we're just trying to make sure everybody stays safe."
Blaha says she favors in-person classes this fall as a parent and as a teacher.
"As a parent, it's a hard balance," Blaha said. "I think as education, we realize that we are lacking when you do [classes] on the virtual."
The Blair Oaks R-II School District Board of Education will meet on Monday to finalize a plan for the 2020-2021 school year.
"Ultimately, the plan is to open in-person on August 24," Jones said. "We need to prepare for the unknown and be flexible in our reaction and do the best we can to support our students, our parents and our communities."

Jobs in America: The Ugly Truth Behind Those Unemployment Numbers
More people have jobs in America this month than they did last month, so says the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). But the headline unemployment rate of 8.3% isn't the whole story. It's not that there wasn't positive news. The addition of 243,000 new jobs far exceeded economists' expectations for an increase of 150,000. […]

I've been coming to Hair Club since the middle 1980's. The service is consistently excellent. My hairdresser Angela always makes certain the system is properly fitted and cut and I love the fact that if there is any issue I can come by for a quick fix. Very satisfied with Hair Club and how I look and feel!

I've been a client since 1982 and I've worked with many technicians at the Boston facility. In all those years I've never had a single bad experience . How's that for customer service??!! I work mostly with Daisy now and she's simply the best. I look forward to seeing everyone who works there; talking sports with Nick and getting the latest joke from Ed to share with my co-workers. Boston is not the closest store to where I live but I'd never consider going elsewhere.

Boston Haiclub is the best. When you walk in the door you see Nick with a big smile and his friendly manner. Nick is very helpful witn appointments and products, and notifies your hair specialist you have arrived. Daisy B is my hair specialist who has such a great talent with hair styling,cutting and color. I always walk out of there feeling great,that I look my best. Her friendly personality makes you feel comfortable and her interesting conversation makes the time fly. I couldn't amagin seing anyone else. Ed always has a smile and a great story. He is able to convey all the advantages of the diffent levels of service so that you can choose the best one for you. Plus the new Boston Office is muck more private and looks so new and nice.

I am writing not only to rate this Company, but to commend one of the Hair Loss Consultants in the Boston Office. I was a club member several years ago and stopped coming. Then I returned in I think it was 2009 or 2010. In any event on both times I had the pleasure of having Mr. Edson Duquette tend to me as my consultant. I just love this man. Mr. Duquette has been nothing but wonderful, understanding of my hair loss situation and compassionate and empathetic to my now present situation. I told Mr. Duquette that my funds are very tight now due to me having to file bankcruptcy and because I am now a caregiver to my elderly mother. I need a new hair system but am financially strapped at the moment and felt unable to renew my contract, but because of the kind of character Mr. Duquette shows I felt so comfortable talking to him about my situation which I actually felt ashamed about. Mr. Duquette told me not to worry and that he understands things happen to people that are out of their control. That actually touched my heart because big corporations couldn't care less what a person goes through and would just show you the door. Mr. Duquette of the Hair Club in Boston didn't shut the door in my face, he actually discussed with me possible ways to try and get the funds to get a new hair system. When I had exhausted all of my options, I wrote Mr. Duquette a letter. He called me and told me that the next time I came in to come see him in his office. I did and this wonderful man worked out a payment plan for me to pay to the compnay, so that I will be able to get a new hair system. I am so thankful to this man because Hair Club has made me look wonderful. I have barely, if any hair on my head but when the young lady named Dinorah puts on my hair system, I feel like a million bucks. Dinorah also works magic and I love her too!!! I not only commend Mr. Duquette for being so understanding and compassionate to my plight and probably others, but I also Thank him for the way he respects his clients and doesn't judge them. He as a representative of Hair Club,makes me feel that Hair Club really goes all out for their clients to make them feel great about the way they look!!! I always get a smile from Mr. Duquette and Dinorah when I go for my appointments, and you know, it's such a good feeling. Sorry for being so long winded, but I just have to let you know how extremely please and Thankful I am and I am gentley telling you this from the bottom of my heart. God Bless, Ms. B

I want to add a story to my comments above. Someone at work recently remarked on my hair. She said something to the effect of "your hair looks great lately, are you letting it grow out?" And "where do you go for styling?" I informed her that I go to a very exclusive salon in Boston - Hair Club for Men. She asked me why I go there, she thought that place was for "bald men". I responded with "they not only do a great job on my hair but I, too, am a "bald man". She said "yeah, right, really, why do you go there?" I had a really hard time convincing her that my hair was the result of a high tech "system". She was extremely impressed with not only the results but that I cared enough about my appearance to have actually done something about it. This woman is a cosmetologist and very attentive to details about people. And she had no idea my hair was not natural, even after I told her (and we have worked together for several years). Just more kudos to the folks at Hair Club Boston.

I have been a member of the Hair Club of Boston for almost 30 years! I've known Angela almost all those many years and she is an exceptionally wonderful person to know. She is always very pleasant and extremmely easy to get along with. I've never had one moment in which there has been even the slightest disagreement concerning my hair needs and problems. She has an excellent, understanding manner that few people have and is very competent in her work and the manner in which she attends to my hair care. I always look forward to come to have my hair systems attended to and am extremely pleased with her work! Mr. Ed Duquette is an exceptionally competent manager and has a excellent, very pleasant manner in which I genuinely feel that I am a very important client.In fact both Angela and Ed Duquette have become good friends of mine and look forward to seeing them.

I have been a client for 30 years and have had wonderful experiences. For the last 12 or so years I have been working in Boston with Angela, Janeen and Ed Doucette. They are always courteous, avaialable and professional. At HCM Boston,they believe and fully understand that the hair we have is not ours and will never look totally natural, but they do their level best to make it look as natural as humanly possible. Lastly, I have to mention how pleasant and professional Nick is at the front desk. When you call to re-arrange an appointment or let him know you are running late, he is always personable and professional!

I am proud to say I have been a Hair Club client for over 15 years. The professionalism and talents are unmatched. The new digs are amazing. Everyone there makes you feel like you are the most important client to them as well as like one of the family. They place privacy and dignity above all else. I would like to echo a sentiment stated above, that is, Ed Duquette is truly a great asset to the establishment. I particularly enjoy running into Ed and his family on those occasions when we cross paths vacationing in Florida. I work primarily with Carol, occasionally with Angela. They are both extremely talented, enjoyable to work with, and ALWAYS do an excellent job on my hair. I never worry about what my hair looks like when I am leaving after an appointment because I am confident it is perfect. Nick is awesome as the front man and he has a tough job, but manages to pull it off seemingly effortlessly. And where would we be without his appointment reminders? In summary, I am very happy that I made the decision all those years ago to attend the free consultation. Was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The Boston Hair Club is comprised of exemplary people who make each and every encounter memorable and enjoyable.

As a 25 yr client I strongly recommend HCM.Boston..Over the years they have continued to improve the quality of the 'systems'..So much so that a neighbor came to me looking for advice on his receding hair line....I had to convince him that he did not have a hair loss problem that I could assist him in, because my hair was in fact a 'system'' applied weekly....To this day he does not believe me...try as I might to show him he could not see the seams in the back or front...Kudo's to the exceptional Daisy B...Week in and week out she consistently achieves the mark of excellence..coupled with the professional customer service received from Nick and the tenacious pursuit by Ed to insure customer satisfaction...HCM Boston leaves No room for improvement..

The new facilities are great! In a business everything starts from the top so at the top Ellen W. is a great leader and really knows how to take care of business. She has a great head on her shoulders. I work with Daisy and Angela. Daisy is not only major talent but she really knows how to make clients feel good and that's half the battle. Daisy is also very innovative in coming up with new hairstyles. Angela's flexibility is amazing, she's extremely talented and accommodating. She's so good that she'll never say no and take any client at any time no matter what her burden is. I've worked with all stylists here and they're all different, but great in their own way. One thing about Boston they function like a family and once you're there you feel apart of it. The most important part of the business is the first impression you get when you walk through the door. You guys are lucky to have Nick as the first person a client sees when they walk through the door, he really knows how to take care of business. He's a master at setting up the appointments, nothing ruffles his feathers, and he always greets you with a warm smile and makes you feel good. Ed Duquette has a remarkable personality and a great asset to the club. He knows how to sell and at the same time knows how to make you feel like a king. Ed has a great heart and you can feel it; an extremely valuable man on the Hair Club team. Beatriz should get an award for her great work in the color room. She became a master under the great teachings of Angela Flavin. The bottom line is the Hair club is made up of a wonderful group of people that make it truly a pleasurable experience. Steve you're a lucky guy!

I am highly satisfied with the professionalism and dedication from the Boston location. I've been a client for over three years and every cent has been worth it. From Ed's smiling face whenever I walk in to Nick's reminder phone call I have never felt un welcomed or had an unconfortable visit. Of corse my hair stylist Janet makes my visit over the top. She listens to concerns I have and always works hard to make sure I look and feel good when I leave. Kudos and keep up the great job!

Hair Club is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!. The best decision I have ever made was joining Hair Club! After using Rogaine and Nioxin for 9 months and not getting the results I needed, I decided to invest in extreme hair therapy, which was recommended to me by a friend who does the treatments and got his hair back. In just 2 months I started seeing results. 5 months later I have no visible hair loss and even my receediing hair line is filling in. My wife and I are so excited with the results that we got her brother to join. I started with a 6 month program, but now that I see results I am absolutely rejoining for another year. I would definitely recommend the full year to anyone that is considering joining hair club. This is something that you will not regret! -Tedd R.

I am not to aware of this specific club but i have known in the past from friends that to beware and make sure you check out the place and all their techniques before you decide to have any procedure because they can be very expensive and very inefective at the same time so I would reccomend you have the place checked out make sure it is reliable and even consult with your personal Dr about some choices they may have for you that are alternatives to some other things that may or may not work.

These fingerless mitts were inspired by the geometrical Norman and medieval English carvings found on the swooping arcades and arches of one of the best places of medieval Norfolk, Binham Priory. The priory sits atop a small mound in a quiet corner or North Norfolk and is one of the counties finest monastic sites. The Priory was founded in 1091 by the Norman baron Peter des Valoines, nephew of William the Conqueror. It was home to a small community of Benedictine monks until the dissolution in 1539 and its partial destruction. Its history is one of almost continuous scandal with many of its priors proving to be unscrupulous and irresponsible. Such as William de Somerton, prior from 1317 until 1335, a keen alchemist, sold many of the priory's valuable items in order to finance his experiments, leaving the priory £600 in debt. Although mostly ruins, it remains a beautiful place. The nave escaped destruction and remains in use as the Priory Church of St Mary and the Holy Cross.
Knitted using Limited Edition Norfolk Horn 4ply from the fibreworkshop. The mitts feature a pretty picot edge and lattice tracery pattern to the cuff. The mitts are worked in the round from the top down and feature thumb gusset shaping for a good fit.

Maybe we're less traditional about these things in Canada? Though I think a split on the first date is the best bet. You're checking each other out, after all.

He is attractive, albeit older than I am by a good 10 years. Which is nothing to write home about, but some people really like. If he was my age, he would have more options and hence me less wrapped by the way I look. Him being an OLDER good looking guy, I feel, works in my favour. Not online.

Jessie Ware, 'Devotion'
If you've heard British breakthrough singer Jessie Ware's "Wildest Moments" (and if you haven't, what are you waiting for?), you know she has one helluva voice. She could belt and whip that thing around like a weapon. But she doesn't. Her debut, "Devotion," finally making its way to the States after a successful run overseas, is careful not to overindulge in vocal acrobatics, setting her apart from Adele, rising powerhouse Emeli Sande and a sea of other singers competing for Longest Note Ever. Ware does it her way, and her modesty, the fact that she's not clamoring to be the next big thing, feels genuine. Keeping the melismatic runs to a minimum, "Devotion" decidedly goes for a sophisticated old-school soul sound that makes for an accomplished vocal showcase and, all together, an impressive first outing. "Sweet Talk" is reminiscent of what Solange did on "Losing You": It's a throwback to the '70s style of Motown, with groovy R&B guitar and vocal chicness. "No to Love" captures that smooth Sade sound, pairing Ware's supple voice with funky electro flourishes and just enough electric guitar. "Taking in Water" stuns. Dedicated to her gay brother, it's a heartfelt manifestation of loyalty and support for her struggling sibling. She's fully in command of the song, but conveys emotion with simplicity and warmth. "Running," too, never wails those riffs – the instinct of most singers. "American Idol" hopefuls, take it from Jessie Ware: Less is sometimes more. Grade: A-
Ashley Monroe, 'Like a Rose'
The new trend with the country-girl crowd: weed. Yup, you read right. Marijuana, Mary Jane, "medicinal numbing agent": however you wanna put it, these gals are singing about it (Willie Nelson, aren't you proud?). Kacey Musgraves suggests smoking a fat one on her great genre-buster "Same Trailer Different Park," and now it's Ashley Monroe, one of Miranda Lambert's bandmates in the trio Pistol Annies, who's huffing and puffing and getting her freak on. "Weed Instead of Roses" sounds like an old-timing Music Row ditty – the honky-tonk guitars and piano solo give it a rockabilly feel – but it's not exactly the country music that got your grandma two-steppin': "Go call your no-good brothers, we both know what he's been growing / I'll be waiting with the whipped cream, and baby, let's get going." It's a total hoot. "You Ain't Dolly (and You Ain't Porter)" is similarly playful as she and Blake Shelton get flirty over a classic-sounding country track, but it's nothing more than novelty. Chemistry? Not so much. It's only a letdown because the eight songs beforehand – all at least co-written by Monroe – set the bar so high: the personal title track laments family death and addiction like she's coming clean to a therapist, "Two Weeks Late" shows off the Dolly spirit in her voice and "She's Driving Me Out of Your Mind" is a traditional country weeper. With humor and heart, and a blunt between her fingers, Monroe isn't just blowing smoke. She's the real deal. Grade: A-
Also Out
Crystal Bowersox, 'All That For This'
One of the most unlikely finalists on "American Idol" – Crystal Bowersox wasn't exactly sweeping in votes from the Kelly Clarkson crowd during her ninth season run – has a clearer sense of her musical self on "All That For This." Improving significantly on her directionless, label-controlled debut, Bowersox's superb sophomore album sees an artist letting her true colors show. The farm girl from Ohio was always more rough around the edges than "Idol" probably wanted her to be, and the songs here – from the bluesy bite of "Til the Whiskey's Gone" to hooky roots single "Dead Weight," and especially standout heartbreaker "Shine" – finally fit the voice singing them.
'The Music Is You: A Tribute to John Denver'
To honor the legendary John Denver, you don't just pick any ol' singer. You get folks like Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Dave Matthews to take on the campfire king's songbook. And you don't mess too much with the songs themselves. Brandi Carlile knows this when she, with Emmylou sweetening up the harmony, stays relatively faithful to the great sing-along "Take Me Home, Country Roads." Williams finds the heart of "This Old Guitar," retaining that sparse lonesome-cowboy feel, and Kathleen Edwards' bittersweet "All of My Memories" haunts. And "Leaving on a Jet Plane," performed by My Morning Jacket, has never sounded this sad. Have tissues ready.

Priceless Art Becomes Accessible
If you are an art aficionado, lover of the Masters, you would want to see Da Vinci's Mona Lisa, or Rembrandt's The Night Watch, or Picasso's La Vie, up close and personal. However, you'd have to fly halfway around the world to view these original masterpieces. From time to time priceless art pieces are exchanged, borrowed by other prestigious museums and art galleries around the world for limited exhibitions. These trips can be long distances, entailing huge expenses and manpower.
Can you imagine if these masterpieces can be viewed at your museum right in the city where you live? Art galleries could one day replace priceless masterpieces with replicas that look virtually identical to the real thing. That's thanks to a new 3D printing technique. The process uses artificial intelligence (AI) with 3D printing to recreate colors from an original artwork with astounding accuracy.
How does it work?
A 3D printer will stack ten different transparent inks in wafer-thin layers on a canvas. The technique known as RePaint is combined with a decades-old technique called half-toning, where an image is created by tiny colored dots rather than in continuous tones. These two processes will blend to capture the nuances of the different colors in extraordinary detail, making a copy just like the original.
The technique was created by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the scientists there claimed it is four times more accurate than current printing techniques.
The good side to this is that the best art pieces and most notable in the world can be displayed as replicas in as many galleries, fostering exchange and appreciation among art lovers. Rather than the pieces confined to one huge and moneyed institution, famous art works can be viewed by as many people in different venues. Art should be more communal and accessible. This can also encourage a wider fan base to go see the real thing after seeing a replica in their own home town or museum.
At MIT, though there is progress, improvements are called for. For example, while the colors are almost exactly the same, the texture of the ink does not match the rough texture of artworks painted with oils or acrylics. Likewise, the researchers would still like to improve on the dazzle of some of the paintings, such as Van Gogh's "Starry Night".
Looking Forward to Priceless Artworks in Seattle
It might happen that you'll find a priceless work of art displayed at our city museum one day. Your eyes are not fooling you, it's a replica, brought to you by 3D printing. There are so many possibilities with 3D printing technology.

I once heard another work-at-home professional refer to business ownership as a "series of hills and valleys." The hills were the times when things are somewhat quiet and for a brief moment, you feel like you might actually get caught up. The valleys happen when things pick up speed and momentum, we are slammed with work and it's all we can do hang on tightly and race towards the finish line.
Basically, it's like riding a rollercoaster with varying degrees of pitch, speed, and tummy quakes.
I too have felt the hills and valleys of business ownership these last three years, and though there are some variables, I've gotten used to these lulls and hectic times to the point I can almost set my watch by them. I know now that the summer months of June, July, and August tend to be slower (for me) while months like January – March, and September – November make me a little insanium-in-the-cranium.
This may not be the case with your work-at-home business, but I would venture to guess that you do in fact know your peak times and slow times. I also have a feeling that sometimes those slow times give you cause for worry-filled pacing, teeth gnashing, imaginations running wild, and jumping to conclusions.
It's such a bummer we can't burn calories for those activities.
The trick is managing those "quiet" times. Managing those times when your hypothetical coaster car is moving slowly and just cresting the top of the hill. Managing those slow times when you almost feel like you are running out of work to do. Those quiet times can be a godsend, but also give us the heebie-jeebies when they seem to last a little too long.
When our workload slows temporarily it can send some of us (including me) into instant worry mode as we fear the worst and think things like; "are all my clients going away?" or "what if no one has any more work for me this month?" and so on. It's also these times my overly-melodramatic alter ego, we will call her Countess Frantic, used to go into full freak-out mode was even known to utter sayings like, "my clients don't love me anymore!!" But I have learned that, when these "hills" or slow times appear on the horizon, I need to feed Countess Frantic a beefy Chill Pill and call it what it is, a lull in the action.
I've learned to not only get comfortable with these slower times in my business but have faith that they are only temporary. I've also learned to cherish the little pockets of time as an excuse to read, indulge in an educational course, or spend extra time with my family.
I know I have mentioned in previous posts that one should never stop prospecting when working as an independent contractor and I still completely stand by that. Busy or slow, as a work-at-home professional you need to Never. Stop. Prospecting. I can also assure you that, when those slow times do hit, the continuation of your prospecting activities for new leads, clients, and projects will give you a sense of control over the destiny of your business, and to me, that is a priceless thing. So this last week marked yet another "hill" in my business.
Did I freak out? NOPE.
What did I do during those quieter moments?
- Wrote a guest blog post
- Visited other blogs and left comments on them
- Prospected new turf for leads and projects
- Tended to my garden
- Went for a walk
- Worked on the staggering pile of books "I need to read"
- Reached out to old clients that I hadn't heard from in a while
- Surprised my family with a surprise impromptu visit to the zoo
- Cleaned my office
Yes, when things go quiet it can be a symptom of a much bigger problem, and if it goes on for too long you may need to take a hard look at your tactics and practices. But after three years, I have discovered these "hills" are short-lived and I have also learned to take those pockets of quiet as a gift, and a gift I shouldn't spend too much time obsessing about it.
As I write this, it's a new week and sure enough, my inbox is blowing up with work requests, potential opportunities, and job leads. My coaster car has just crested the hill and soon I will be screaming down the other side, hanging on for dear life and just trying to keep up.
Just think what would have happened if I would have fallen into panic mode, become paralyzed by worry and had not seized the opportunity for some summer afternoon fun and productivity?
Tomorrow still comes whether we are busy or not, it's what you are doing about it today that matters.
What are you doing to manage the hills and valleys of your business?
"Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight."― Benjamin Franklin

Karren Brady talks to TV Times magazine about not giving up the day job to be an Apprentice mentor and how Lord Alan's secrets are safe with her…
Do any of the contestants on The Apprentice this year remind you of yourself?
"I don't sit there as a little old lady reflecting on my glory days. I am an acting CEO running a business that employs 800 people. I sit on a number of boards, some that employ 45,000 people."
How do you feel as though the candidates develop throughout the show?
"For the first few tasks is all about them and their ego and you see some very strange decisions. Later it suddenly dawns on the candidates that if you are in a winning team and you win because you have worked together then you don't get fired. At that point they pack up their egos and they start looking at the business process and those you might have written off, come through and often lead."
Is it important that you bring all of that to the show?
"That is the experience I bring to the show, and the opinion that I give matters because I am out there working and doing it. One of the things that keeps me awake at night is ensuring that all of the people I employ have a job to go to the next day."
Something you've been working on is moving West Ham Football Club from its present Boleyn Ground home in Upton Park, East London to the new Olympic Stadium…
"It has been a project I have been running for three years and we have won it twice before and not been handed the keys."
How do you make working at West Ham and on The Apprentice fit?
"I try to do everything at the same time, not always successfully, but I do try. Some days I am quite stretched, but I always say nothing is work unless you would rather be doing something else and I love The Apprentice and I love West Ham, so I will find a way of doing them all."
Do your husband, Paul, and children, Sofia and Paolo, watch The Apprentice?
"They get very involved, but I never tell them anything. Even at the end when they want to know who is fired I won't tell them and they get very annoyed with me."

One of the greatest things for me as a photographer is to see the families I work with evolve throughout the years. The same way you feel when one of your friends gets engaged and then later married. Before you know it she's already sharing the baby bump news… And it just keeps on going. Because I strive to make a connection with my clients, I see them the same way a friend would. A friend that follows along capturing their story as it evolves.
Laura and Alfred happen to be my friends, even before they were ever my clients, so working with them is all about capturing their personalities. It's a less of a challenge when you already know how the session is going to go down. Laura is going to laugh at absolutely everything and it will take a miracle to get Alfred to take anything I seriously long enough for us to stay in the same area for long. But ever since the arrival of their baby girl, Isabella, life has drastically changed for this young couple. I have seen Laura fall more and more in love with her daughter with each day that goes by. I see the excitement in Alfred's eyes towards the future. The day that Isabella will be out there in the yard being his partner in crime. As a first time mom myself, we all share in that innocent joy that comes from even the slightest thing the kids do. My husband and I joke with them that they are "our couple", the one that we share our experiences with, the good and the bad, that happens with the twins. Sure enough a year later Laura and Alfred will be telling us some kind of the same version that is currently happening with Bella. Motherhood has made our bond grow closer and it's because of it that I can't wait to see Bella running around the house already either.
The day of our family session we all woke up early enough to catch the sunrise at one of Laura's favorite places to be, the beach. It happened to be quite the windy and chilly morning for us in always hot and sunny Miami. When I arrived at the beach I was shocked to see it completely trashed by all of the attendees of Floatopia Miami. It broke my heart. My beautiful city beach looked like a dump. The local news channel reporters were there filming the scene and there were big garbage bins every hundred steps. Tractors piling and making groups of the mess and about fifty city workers picking up trash. I seriously considered telling Laura and Alfred to drive to another spot on the beach but we made it work. We found a spot on the sand that was not affected. As if the sky was rewarding us for hanging out, the most beautiful sunrise shed the prettiest golden light. We later on did the next best thing for Bella. We took our session back home to the place her heart would be the happiest. Photographing children at home will always be one of my most favorite things to do. They just get to be themselves. No distractions. Nothing but the family and the wonderful things that happen on a daily when we are just busy living. These next pictures will be very dear to my friend's heart and mine as well. I hope you all enjoy seeing little Bella flirt with the camera.
A short while later while at home…
I asked Laura to share with me a little insight on these first four months into motherhood and here is what she had to say:
Since I had a c-section, I had to stay home for at least the first 2 months. So yes, it wasn't an easy task at first, I wanted to go out at least to take a walk around the block and at the same time I didn't want to go out and leave her in the house. Another thing that was a bit of a challenge for me {since I love sleeping} was to wake up in the middle of the night, even though Bella would wake up every 3 hours {which is pretty good for a newborn} that was still tough for me. In between those hours when I could've slept, I would stay awake, afraid something would happen to her, asking myself: "Is she ok? Is she breathing? What if she cries and I don't hear her?" But honestly I wouldn't mind doing it all over again. I love her and for her I will do anything and everything. Nowadays, everything is a little smoother, seeing her grow and watching her learn things is pretty amazing. I get to be with her everyday, day and night, so because of that I get to witness her reactions to pretty much everything. New toys, new people she meets, new foods, etc… Honestly being a mom is a blessing. Being Isabella Rose's mom is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Thank you Laura for sharing with me and all of us reading. I can't agree more that being a mom is the best thing ever. xoxo
