Hair Donation Guidelines
35.5cm (14in) is the hair length required to create wigs in order for the hair to be processed. 1-2cm shorter is okay to donate, but the longer the donation the better!
If you've got to wait a little longer for your hair to reach that length, you could consider setting up your fundraising page now! It's a great way to keep you motivated whilst you patiently wait for your hair to grow.
If you need to chop your hair now, and it's shorter than 14in/35.5cm, we'd recommend sending it to Sustainable Salons Australia who accepts donations of ponytails from 20cm. You can drop off your ponytails to any Sustainable Salon (please visit their Directory to find your nearest salon)
If there is no Sustainable Salon in your area you can post your ponytails to:
Sustainable Salons Australia 15 Salisbury St BOTANY NSW 2019
Many of the people that receive the wigs are young women and children. Having the option to wear a wig often promotes confidence and self-esteem.They very much want to fit into normal everyday life and this includes the hairstyles they choose – many prefer longer hairstyles as their peers often have long hair.
We cannot accept any hair that has been processed or dyed, including semi-permanent, foils, bleach, henna or chemically straightened. The hair must be natural to be used by the wigmaker so they can properly colour match, as dyed hair tends to fade or change colour. Processed hair is also more brittle and prone to breakage both during the wigmaking process and while the wig is being worn.
If your hair was dyed some time ago and it's only the ends of your hair that remain dyed, we are able to accept the hair, provided the dyed ends are cut off and the length of the donated hair is 14in/35.5cms or longer.
Sustainable Salons Australia accepts dyed hair. You can drop off your ponytails to any Sustainable Salon (please visit their Directory to find your nearest salon

Yes! Variety regularly receives hair from countries such as New Zealand and Japan.
The Big Chop
Anyone can chop your hair! Whether it's a hairdresser, a friend or a family member we suggest you bring along a copy of the guidelines which goes through the steps for how to chop your hair.
We don't have a list of hairdressers as such that we recommend. We often suggest asking your friends or family if they have a close relationship with a hairdresser, as they're often likely to be very supportive (and some may even generously donate their services).
Another option is to see if there a Sustainable Salons Australia member salon near you, as they are familiar with chopping hair to donate it. They have a directory on their website, which makes it easy to see if there is one located near you.
Thanks so much for your support of Hair with Heart. We don't have an official program for hairdressers involved with the program, but we'd be happy to send you out a pack with some materials that you could use.
Many hairdressers keep our guidelines & chop instructions on their wall, in the window and have some available for people to take home.
When it comes to sending in the hair, if people are sending it in themselves, we'd suggested providing them with the guidelines document which has the steps to follow (including the link to our online hair donation form). By completing their own hair donation form they'll receive a personalised certificate to print off and will be notified once we've received their long locks.
If they're happy to leave it with you, we're happy to receive these in bulk (no need for individual forms).
We don't have a formal list of participating hairdressers, as in the past we've found this quite challenging to keep current.
For those who want to donate their hair at your salon but don't quite have the minimum length we require (35.5cm/14in) or who have dyed hair, we'd recommend you send those to Sustainable Salons, which is an organisation which works with hairdressers around the country to reduce and recycle materials from salons, including hair. You don't need to be a member to send in ponytails individually. They accept hair donations from 20cm in length and that are dyed (and many of which they receive that meet our criteria come to Variety). Their contact details are [email protected] or 1300 475 679. Their address is 15 Salisbury St, Botany NSW 2019
Some hairdressers generously offer a discount or complimentary chops for our hair donors, but this is up to you and your salon.

Please include your completed Hair Donor Form, so we know who the hair is from. A PDF of the online form will be emailed to you upon completion.
Once it arrives at the Variety office in Sydney, our wonderful volunteers unpack and sort your hair. It is packed with other ponytails and sent to the wigmaker.
You'll receive an email to let you know your ponytails have been received. We choose to work with Freedom Wigs, a wigmaker based in NZ who makes custom, human hair, vacuum cap wigs for adults and kids who have lost their hair due to a long-term medical condition, primarily alopecia. Variety raises money from the hair donations which support the grants and programs we provide to give Aussie Kids a fair go.
On average it takes between 10-20 ponytails to make just one wig.
We don't sell wigs. Variety grants wigs to kids who have lost their hair due to a medical condition, including long-term conditions such as alopecia and trichotillomania, and temporary hair loss, including kids undergoing treatment for cancer. The wigs that are granted by Variety include those made by Freedom Hair, as well as other types, depending on the needs and preference of the child, and cover up to $6000.
Due to the volume and logistics of the wig making process (on average 10 – 20 ponytails are used to make one wig) as well as privacy, we are unable to track your hair through to the final recipient. Each wig is also custom made, so when it is used in a wig, depends on the type of hair requested by each client. Your hair will only be used in a wig for someone who have lost their hair due to a medical condition, primarily alopecia.
We'd encourage you to take a look at Hannah's Story. Hannah has alopecia and was nine when she was granted a wig by Variety. The video shows the impact a wig can have on someone's life.
Plus it's a great video to share with friends and family too.
The wigmaker we work with, Freedom Wigs also posts lots of photos of recipients of their wigs on their Facebook page.
We'd love to see if we can help!
Click here to view Variety's [Wig Application and guidelines].
Our Kids Support team is here to help too – give them a call on 02 9819 1000 or send them an email (mailto:[email protected]). The Kids Support team in NSW looks after all the wig applications for Australia.
The money Variety receives for your hair, along with the money you raise by fundraising, is used to help give Aussie kids in need a fair go. Variety supports kids in so many ways, from purchasing a child with a disability a new wheelchair to buying school uniforms for kids who are doing it tough.
There are lots of ways to fundraise – and something to suit everybody, even if it's your first time!
You could start small by setting up a fundraising page and only share it with close family and friends, or you may want to go a bit bigger and share it will all your friends on social media.
You can download your Fundraising Guide here for all the tips and tools.
And we're here to help! If you have questions, ideas, or need anything – send us an email, give us a call or send in an enquiry.
Fundraising is not compulsory but it is encouraged. Variety is a non-government funded charity so every urgently needed piece of equipment, therapy session, vehicle modification (and much more) that is granted is all thanks to the amazing support of people like you. Setting up a fundraising page online through our Hair with Heart campaign on Everyday Hero is quick and simple, and a great way to let you friends and family show their support!
Everyday Hero is the fundraising platform used to support the program. The funds you raise will automatically be transferred to Variety from your Everyday Hero fundraising page.
To set up your fundraising page, click here.
Personalise your fundraising page by uploading a profile photo, setting a fundraising goal and sharing your story. You can continue to post pictures to your page and thank your donors leading up to the BIG cut!
Make your first donation! People will be more likely to support you knowing you have personally committed to the challenge and supported yourself along the way.
Use the Share button on your fundraising page, or simply copy and paste your page URL to your social media (Facebook, Instagram etc.)
Make sure you post a photo or two of your chop or new haircut to your page, and share your page around one more time. People can and often do make a donation after the big chop.
The donations from your friends and family come through to Variety automatically, so there's no need to close the page for us to receive them.
If you would like to take down your page, you can do so via the 'Edit this Supporter Page' area – towards the bottom is a link that says ' Disable Page'.
Many companies have Employee Matched Funding programs which match some/all of an employee's charity fundraising efforts; ask your HR department or manager. If they don't have a program, they may still be willing to make a donation to support your fundraising for Variety.
Or why not host your chop at your work? You could organise a lunch or morning tea.
In 2007, after their daughter Charlotte was diagnosed with alopecia areata, Matthew and Rebecca Adamson established the Princess Charlotte Alopecia Foundation to raise awareness of the condition and funds to supply quality, human hair wigs to people with alopecia.
In 2013, the foundation became part of the Variety family, becoming the Princess Charlotte Alopecia Program. Building on the amazing work of Matthew, Rebecca and their volunteers, the program has continued to grow – granting wigs to children with alopecia and accepting hair donations to make into wigs for those whose hair loss is due to a medical condition. In 2016, the Princess Charlotte Alopecia Program became Hair with Heart.
At Variety – the Children's Charity we believe all Aussie kids deserve a fair go in life, so we support kids who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs by providing practical equipment, programs and experiences to help them overcome obstacles and live life to the fullest
If you have a question that we haven't covered, or want to chat through ideas for your big chop or fundraising, submit an enquiry below, send us an [email](mailto:[email protected]) or give us a call on 02 9819 1000.

The motto of bureaucrats prepared to thwart reform and preserve the status quo, it has been wryly observed, is "This, too, shall pass." The strategy is to simply wait out reform efforts in the confidence that that they will fade away as inertia prevails and attention is turned elsewhere. That must not be allowed to happen in the Central Alabama Veterans Health Care System. In a pointed speech on the House floor last week, U.S. Rep. Martha Roby, R-Montgomery, noted Washington's "short attention span" on some issues. The VA system, and in particular the problem-plagued CAVHCS, can't be one of them.

Women and Workplace Discrimination: Overcoming Barriers to Gender Equality
Women and Workplace Discrimination: Overcoming Barriers to Gender Equality
Why bother writing a book that condemns employer acts of discrimination against working women? Women's problems in the workplace have been largely resolved, have they not? Haven't women already achieved workplace equality? These are typical of the reactions I have encountered while writing this book, and they appear to reflect the current opinion of women and men alike.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and various state anti-discrimination laws prohibit discrimination in employment based on sex, as well as on race, national origin, and religion. Coincident with the advent of Title VII, sweeping economic and social trends induced, if not compelled, women's entry into the national workforce in vast numbers, and the female proportion of the workforce has continued to increase to this day. Women have gained access to positions formerly barred to them, and the past four decades have witnessed the elevation of women to corporate and professional levels formerly unheard of. During this time, discrimination against women in the workplace has abated.
Federal and state anti-discrimination laws have performed a critical role in expanding workplace opportunities for women. As an old cigarette commercial exulted, "You've come a long way, baby." Yet women are still denied full equality in the workplace. Even though they can now secure powerful professional, academic, and corporate positions once reserved for men, the everpresent "glass ceiling" still deters the advancement of large segments of the female workforce. Sex discrimination may have subsided, but it surely has not . . .

This past weekend was Anacortes Shipwreck Day which is a large flea market downtown. OK let me be more honest it's one over sized garage sale with a lot of junk.
This Shipwreck Day had a little something extra sweet. Brooke set up her first booth to sell her Vivi & Bette jewelery. Check it out online http://www.viviandbette.com/ for even more details. It was great. Brooke sold a total of 10 items and her goal was to at least sell 1 item. Her line of jewelry looked great and very professional. I am very proud of Brooke and her fabulous jewelry line.
Some of the highlights of the day was that Brooke was wearing a captain hat and I a sailor hat. Brooke got hit on by a salty sailor that was at least 86 years old, there was a surprise visit from Brooke's aunt and two cousins. My parents and aunt and uncle stopped by the booth to find some goods. The biggest highlight was that I got to spend the day with by BF laughing, people watching and buying other people's junk.
I must thank my husband Josh for his creative inspiration with the window display piece and the flower jars. Way to go Josh.
Let me introduce
It has been awhile since my last blog and a lot is going on. First I must catch everyone up to date. My aunt and uncle from New York finally made the move to the northwest. They are currently living with my parents, which means my parents are living with their best friends, which really really means it is like animal house at my parents house.
Not only are they my aunt and uncle, but they are also my god parents. They are the most loving and kind people that I know and they are always done to have a good time.
So let me introduce my Uncle Kevin ( Papa) and my Aunt Indira.
Love you guys and so glad you live in the Northwest.

We all react differently to stress. Carly*, a 35-year-old banker, appears to breeze her way through endless work deadlines while looking after her frail, elderly mother, yet she often gets headaches, backaches and stomach upsets. Meanwhile student Maya* goes quiet the minute she senses an argument is brewing, and if she can escape to her bedroom, she will. Jane*, on the other hand, is the opposite. This 30-year-old homemaker slams doors, throws her children's toys around the apartment and shouts at whoever is within earshot.
Experts say these are three of the more common reactions to stress, and they're based on the fight or flight response, a physiological reaction that happens when we perceive a threat. The reactions were first described by American physiologist Walter Bradford Cannon in 1915, yet psychologists say they're as prevalent today as they've always been.
Carey Kirk, counselling psychologist at The LightHouse Arabia in Dubai, says that to understand our reaction to stress, we must first understand what constitutes stress.
'Stress is a reaction to a perceived demand and it can come in two forms – eustress, which is healthy stress that challenges and motivates us and helps us to feel stimulated and alive, and distress, which comes from demands that tax us and leave us feeling overwhelmed, drained or incapable.'
But aren't we all under stress most days? UK stress and anxiety expert Becki Houlston insists we differentiate between stress and pressure. 'Pressure is short term and you remain resourceful. Stress is your reaction to prolonged threat, which could be a boss who's constantly criticising you, making you worry about your job security, or a partner who nitpicks at the way you look after the children, leaving you feeling inadequate.
'Most causes of stress are self-created. True, Carly can't help her mum being so ill and dependent on her, but she can look at the way she handles the extra workload and the emotional turmoil, and she could start to prioritise her own needs.'
So which stress personality are you, and what can you do to improve your reaction to all the problems and conflicts that life throws at you?
This character is very sociable. She is often the life and soul of a dinner party, or the organiser of the office social life. She also shares everything and she plasters minute details about her life – good and bad – all over Facebook.
But the minute she senses a threat to her comfort zone, she overreacts and lashes out. She's the one shouting at people in the bank, slamming doors in the office, firing off angry letters to firms or arguing with her kid's teacher.
'This person may have a low tolerance for frustration and discomfort,' says Carey. 'When she's confronted with a demand like a short work deadline or conflict in a relationship, she may feel she doesn't have the skills to deal with or manage the feeling of stress.
'She may say to herself things like: "I shouldn't feel this way," or "What's wrong with me? Why can't I manage?" This creates more feelings of stress and discomfort, which are then discharged by shouting at or blaming a co-worker or a partner, snapping at people around them, or physically, by slamming doors, punching a wall or throwing things around.'
Becki adds: 'This person blames everyone but herself. She's never at fault, and any blame that comes her way is hit back, as in a tennis match.'
If this is you… Becki recommends shining a light on your thoughts and feelings so you get to know yourself really well.
'Drama queens aren't good at being on their own, so having some time alone is a good place to start,' Becki says.
'She could look at the past few situations where she has gone off the boil. If she can identify the emotion present before she shouted, snapped, threw or punched, that's what she needs to work on. It could be a fear that someone doesn't like her and she's losing popularity, or a fear that her boss is trying to make her look stupid in front of clients.'
Drama queens are advised to count to 10, remove themselves from the situation and go for a quiet walk round the block. Yoga is also beneficial.
'Anything high energy isn't good for drama queens,' says Becki, 'as it keeps them in a reactive state.'
One last tip: 'Don't make decisions when your emotions are high and your intelligence is low,' advises Becki. 'Instead go for a walk, or take five and have a coffee break.'
The person is usually an introvert, yet she's dependable and reliable. However, she hates confrontation, whether it's a complaint about her children's behaviour or an argument with another driver over a parking space. At the first sign of any stress, she will withdraw in whatever way she can.
Carey says when the avoider is confronted with a short work deadline or conflict in a relationship, rather than having a chat with her boss or her husband, she will shut down and procrastinate or she'll avoid replying to questions. She might keep away from people or call in sick because she feels she just can't face the day.
Becki adds, 'If she's out for a meal in a restaurant, and the person at the next table complains about their meal, she will want to get out as quickly as possible. If she can't leave the place, she will switch off mentally.
'If she has money worries, she will ignore her bank statements when they appear in her emails or she will put off opening letters from her bank. She will often have conversations in her head, telling people exactly what she thinks of them, but she would never tell them out loud and for real.'
If this is you… Becki suggests you get comfortable with confrontation, so that you can express your needs.
'The avoider can get herself out of this pattern by deciding what she wants and asking for it,' says Becki. 'She would feel so much better if she could tell her partner or friend they have hurt her, for example, instead of going quiet for a few days and letting the hurt simmer away inside her.
'If she could get the conversation out of her head, she'd feel a lot lighter and she'd be tackling the issue head-on, rather than prolonging it, or creating new problems.
'Joining a debating society where people are meant to argue would get her used to confrontation and disagreements, and high-impact exercise, such as spinning, would create good energy, which would calm the mind.
'When she feels unsafe and the need to go off and hide from stress, she could conjure up and relive in her mind a time when she felt perfectly safe. This might calm her and stop her from running away!'
This person has a 'get on with it' attitude – she appears quite tough and stoic, as she copes with a demanding job, poorly children, moving home and ageing parents. And when others are having a tough time, her attitude is if she's gotten through her troubles, then they can too.
But as Carey explains, our emotions exist to give us information about our surroundings, and if we don't listen to them, or if we quash them, our body will then try to get our attention.
'When these people face stress, they say they're fine at the time, but then later they complain of stomach problems, pains in their chest, backache or nausea,' says Carey.
Becki concurs. 'The mind-body connection is so strong that stress that isn't dealt with can become irritable bowel syndrome, heart attacks, thyroid problems, high blood pressure and even alopecia,' she says. 'The body is trying to tell them something is wrong.
'From the outside, these people look to be coping with high amounts of stress, but then you'll find they're always cancelling social events because they're ill, or they regularly phone in sick to work.'
If this is you… start by talking to a trusted friend about the stress in your life, whether you think you're handling it or not.
'If you can find a safe way to express your negative emotions, you'll get them out of your body and stop them causing you physical problems,' says Becki. 'Look at the way you talk to yourself – stop berating yourself if you don't get through your work before the weekend. Be kinder to yourself and others.
'Try yoga or meditation, and if that's too calm to begin with, go for a peaceful walk. Or spend some time with animals – being kind and loving has a therapeutic effect on us.'

The lack of sewage treatment in many small communities in Southeast Minnesota is causing surface water and groundwater pollution. Fourteen of these small communities will receive technical assistance provided by this project. These communities have community or individual straight pipes which are discharging raw sewage directly to the environment, surfacing sewage, or have sewage contaminating groundwater.
To be able to manage resources in the Blue Earth and Le Sueur Watersheds into the future and have a positive effect on water quality, resource managers need high quality accurate data to support decision making of best management practice (BMP) implementation. Digital elevation data is a valuable resource for modeling water flow, however in its current state it cannot represent water conveyance through features such as roadways. These flow barriers limit the accurate use of data for recently developed targeting tools identifying BMP suitability and effectiveness down to the field scale.

What Kind of Oil Goes in the Rear of an STX38 John Deere Mower?
The John Deere Company offered two models of the STX38 riding lawn mower. The yellow-deck STX38, manufactured from 1988 to 1993, featured a Kohler CV12.5-1215, air-cooled, one-cylinder, gas engine. The black-deck STX38, manufactured from 1994 to 1997, featured a Kohler CV13S air-cooled, one-cylinder, gas engine. Kohler recommends changing the oil after every 100 hours of operation using a high-quality synthetic engine oil with a service class rating of SG, SH, SJ or higher.
Clean It Up
Both STX38 models need 2 quarts of high-quality detergent oil with an API service class rating of SG, SH, SJ or higher and an SAE grade of 10W-30 when temperatures are above 32 degrees Fahrenheit, or a 5W-20- or 5W-30-grade oil when temperatures fall below 32 F. Kohler notes that synthetic engine oil provides for better start-up in extremely cold temperatures because, unlike petroleum-based oil, it does not thicken when the temperature drops. John Deere offers several engine oils for the STX38 mowers, including Turf-Gard, Torq-Gard Supreme, Torq-Gard Supreme Plus 50 and JD Plus-4.
Grease Is the Word
Lubricating the moving parts, including axles and pivot points, reduces wear and keeps everything running smoothly. John Deere recommends using John Deere Multi-Purpose SD Polyurea Grease or John Deere Multi-Purpose HD Lithium Complex Grease, or an all-purpose grease with an NLGI consistency rating of two.

It's time for some new music!! Once again, I listened to three very different albums. Two out of three of these artists are brand new to me: Benjamin Booker & Future. Benjamin Booker is a raw, bluesy artist that has produced a swinging, feedback-laden, groovy kind of sound. I totally dig it. His self-titled album is one worth checking out. I don't know much about him, but I do know that I like what I hear. He has organs on his album!! ORGANS!! Can't wait to see where he goes from here.
Next up on this list is Future's Honest. I wasn't too sure I liked this album when I first heard it. But then I heard the song, "Blood, Sweat, Tears" and I totally fell for it. With that one song I truly opened my ears to the rest of the album. It's the BEST and most meaningful song on the album. It gave me a different perspective from how I first heard the other songs. And once I got rolling with it, I started to find other songs that stood out to me. This is a pure hip hop album full of good beats and tough lyrics. It's not the best album that I've ever heard, but it caught my attention.
The latest album from Bruce Springsteen, High Hopes, is mostly a collaboration with Tom Morello. While this is clearly still a Springsteen album through and through, you can still hear the grittier influence that Morello has on the songs on which he plays. I especially love the remake of "The Ghost Of Tom Joad". Tom's guitar playing and singing change up the dynamic of this oldie but goodie in such a positive way. I went from liking this song to LOVING it. But even the songs that I chose that don't feature Tom, like "Frankie Fell In Love" and "Dream Baby Dream", are great. It took many listens to pick out my favorites, but the songs in this playlist are the ones that stood out the most.

It's all about the leads!
Consumers are in control. They conduct their own research, seek advice and recommendations, compare offerings and even trial the product or service well before they decide to buy so how does any company stay ahead of the game.
View below the slides for a recent presentation (april 2014) to the Monash University Masters of Marketing Students on Lead Generation for Online Marketing.
How do you automate your lead management?
The following three steps are a good start…
1. Lead Nurturing/Scoring Initial Assessment
2. Marketing Automation Strategy Development
3. Advanced Assessment and Continued Development
Below is an example of a lead generation model developed for BlueFrog Marketing clients.
The ingredients are interchangeable depending on the type of business and the resources available but the process will deliver valuable leads to any organisation if implemented well. Contact me if you'd like to discuss how lead management can help you on 0417 305 228

One young woman against Evil: Chaya Shapiro-Lazar and her journey to freedom
To my brave mother
A Jewish Family
She was born in a stormy snowy night in Vilna, on the first of January 1924, the last child of Sarah and Dov Shapiro. Her sister Yehudit and her brother Yitzhak were older than Chaya who enjoyed a spoiled and calm childhood as the pet child of the family, mischievous, smart, a rebel, not liking frameworks – and so she remained until the end of her life in 2003.
Her mother Sarah nee Rodominer belonged to a family which came to Vilna from the village of Rodomino in Lithuania. Her two brothers and her mother, Grandma Liebe (Ahuva) lived close by. She was a beautiful and musical woman, and used to sing to her children and to regret that they did not inherit her talent for music. She was a housewife, but also a sewer of leather gloves by profession, a vocation which later saved her and her family for a while, in the ghetto. המשך…

The material from function theory, up to the residue calculus, is developed in a lively and vivid style, well motivated throughout by examples and practice exercises. Additionally, there is ample discussion of the historical evolution of the theory, biographical sketches of important contributors, and citations (original language together with English translation) from their classical works. Yet the book is far from being a mere history of function theory. Even experts will find here few new or long forgotten gems, like Eisenstein's novel approach to the circular functions. This book is destined to accompany many students making their way into a classical area of mathematics which represents the most fruitful example to date of the intimate connection between algebra and analysis. For exam preparation it offers quick access to the essential results and an abundance of interesting inducements. Teachers and interested mathematicians in finance, industry and science will also find reading it profitable, again and again referring to it with pleasure.Remmert, Reinhold is the author of 'Theory of Complex Functions Readings in Mathematics', published 1990 under ISBN 9780387971957 and ISBN 0387971955.[read more]

It may be an intimidating protein, but if you need to feed a crowd, lamb's the way to go. Orange and lemon in the marinade make for a bright counterpoint to the earthy cumin. Stuff leftovers into pitas, and drizzle with yogurt.
How to Make It
Combine the first 11 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring well. Place lamb in a roasting pan; rub with garlic mixture. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Remove lamb from the refrigerator. Sprinkle lamb with 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Place lamb on the rack of a roasting pan coated with cooking spray, and place rack in pan. Let lamb stand for 1 hour at room temperature.
Preheat oven to 425°.
Roast lamb at 425° for 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375° (do not remove lamb from oven); bake an additional 45 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into thickest portion of roast registers 135° or until desired degree of doneness. Let stand for 20 minutes; slice.

Auditioning for Film and Television
So, you've been submitting your headshot and resume to agents, casting directors, producers, and other industry professional who are involved in the casting process. One day the phone rings, and you are excited when you hear someone on the other end inviting you to audition for a principal speaking role. Almost immediately, a wave of panic sets in and you question whether you are ready for this major event.
The best way to dissipate this wave of panic is to calm yourself, and come to the realization that you are a professional and you have prepared yourself for this moment by taking acting classes and workshops, and gaining all the skills and tools that you will need to be successful in this business.
Sometimes, some simple things are overlooked, like have a working cell phone number at which you can be reached at any time. I recommend going with a mobile phone like an iPhone or a Blackberry which offers options that a basic cell phone does not, like the capability of receiving and responding to e-mails and casting notices.
Always be sure that when the phone rings, you have a pen and notepad at hand so you won't have to run around trying to find something to write with and on. Make sure to note all the pertinent information that is given to you, including the name and telephone number of the person who contacted you. This way, you will know who to call if something important comes up.
In the majority of cases, you will be sent an e-mail giving you all the details for the audition. These should include but are not limited to the breakdown for the role you are auditioning for, the sides, which are the scenes or scene that you will be reading for, what kind of wardrobe you should wear, and the audition time, location and address. If you do not receive the audition details in a timely fashion, call your contact person to let them know. Check your spam folder regularly to see if the e-mail you were waiting for was mistakenly misdirected to your spam folder instead of being received in your inbox.
Once you've received your lines, you must memorize, memorize, and memorize again until you are confident that you know them by heart. When you are completely memorized, begin to flesh out your character to the extent that your performance will be natural and engaging. More on this topic to come in part six of this series.
I invested in a Sony Webbie so that I could put myself on tape after I have memorized my lines. This way, I can review all my takes and get immediate feedback about what adjustments I may need to make to fine tune my performance. This practice has been a tremendous asset to the auditioning process since it gives me practice working on camera so that I become more and more comfortable with the process.
The Sony Webbie or similar quality camcorder, is an invaluable tool for obtaining objective feedback to gauge how you are coming off on camera. The model I use is the Sony Webbie MHS-PM1 HD Camcorder.
There are times when I am unsure about how my facial expressions or gestures are being played out when I start reading my lines. By taping myself and playing it back, I am able to see immediately if I am looking goofy, blinking excessively, or making any other expressions that are not natural for the role I am playing. For example, if I am blinking a lot and my eyes are very wide open and the role does not indicate that my character is insecure, nervous, scared, or intimidated, then my take on the read would be unnatural and not in keeping with how the role should be played.
In Part Six of this series on auditioning tips, I will discuss memorizing your lines and developing your character for the audition.
Review Auditioning Tips Part One: Getting The Best Headshot, Auditioning Tips Part Two: Creating Your Acting Resume, Auditioning Tips Part Three: Reproducing Your Headshot And Resume From Your Home Printer, Auditioning Tips Part Four: Submitting For Casting Notices And Acting Jobs.

Taste Guru Subscription Box Review & Coupon!
Taste Guru is a monthly gluten-free subscription box. I find that they typically include a mix of pantry staple items and snacks in each box. I personally avoid both gluten and dairy in my diet, so my subscription to Taste Guru has been a great way to discover new pantry items and then buy them in bulk on Amazon!
FYI – I subscribed to Taste Guru a few months ago when they had a Gilt City deal, and they currently have another Gilt City deal today if you want to grab this subscription at a discount!
The Subscription Box: Taste Guru
The Cost: $39 a month (less with 3,6, and 12 month plans)
The Products: 6-8 full-size gluten free products.
Check out all of my Taste Guru reviews and the Gluten Free Subscription Box Directory!
Bella Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Mix – 1 Cup Sample Size – Value $3
At the Table Together Easy Make Gluten Free Flour Tortilla Mix – Two 4.6 oz bags Value $8
I'm so excited to try this Bella All-Purpose baking mix! Not only is it gluten free, but it's also soy-free, nut-free, lactose/casein-free, egg-free and it is non-GMO! And of course the best part is that it gets great reviews on Amazon! I think I'm going to make their pancake recipe this weekend!
Love Original Roasted Seaweed (2) – Value $3 total
Fiona's All Natural Trail Mix in Mountain Blend – Value $4
This trail mix is gluten and dairy free – and very addicting! I thought I would just sample it when I opened it, but I ended up eating the entire bag! There's no added salt in this mix, so it's a bit more of a sweeter trail mix – definitely a healthy dessert!
Massel Concentrated Liquid Stock – Value $4
Nature Valley Roasted Nut Crunch Bars in Almond and Peanut – Value $2
I'm happy with this stock – it's always a good staple to have in the pantry, but I probably won't end up eating the Nature Valley bars since they have corn syrup and added colors in their ingredients.
Verdict: This month's box value is on the lower end (approximately $24), so I would have been upset if I had signed up for this box at full price. With the discount though, I'm very pleased with the value and curation of the box. (For me the value is more about discovering great new gluten-free products). Plus I can't wait to make Bella All Purpose Baking Mix pancakes!
What do you think of Taste Guru?

Does your Ampak module use Cypress or Broadcom/Avago silicon? Many of them use Broadcom/Avago. If that's the case, they'd provide support.
2. Re: Bluetooth coexistence broken after upgrading firmware for BCM43362towe_4292136 Jun 7, 2019 10:38 AM (in response to MichaelF_56)
I'm not sure, but given the age of my device I'd expect that it is Broadcom. However, I'm just consumer and therefore getting support from either Broadcom or AMPAK is difficult.
The reason I am reporting this here is that it started happening when upgrading to the Cypress firmware. The old Broadcom firmware provided in linux-firmware is working fine except for P2P. Given that the updated Cypress firmware is now shipped in all Linux distributions, no matter if Cypress or Broadcom silicon, I was hoping you could at least provide some sort of support for that closed-source binary.

Who we are
Jean Cury
My current internship is about studying a synthetic recombination site of the integron system, at Pasteur Institute, Paris. This gives me a good insight into synthetic biology, and motivates me to participate in iGEM.
What attracts me also in doing iGEM is the interdisciplinary team, the team reflexion, and everything about creating a team, organizing it, learning from other fields represented. Indeed, I truly believe that learning from your friends is a good way to improve your knowledge and satisfy your curiosity, that is why I organized meetings with my classmates in order to share what we're doing in our internships, which are very different (but still related to biology).
In addition to my internship, I'm following bioinformatics and arabic courses.
Dylan Iverson
I am a first year student of the Master of Biomedical Engineering at Paris Descartes. My undergraduate degree is Engineering Bachelor of Science: Chemical Engineering from University of California, Santa Barbara. I have done completed my first 2-month internship for M1 in neurobiology, and iGem will serve as my second internship. I discovered the topic of synthetic biology by taking Jake Wintermute's course for the AIV Master. In contrast with biology students, I have more knowledge of mathematical modeling and chemistry. I am particularly interested in metabolic engineering. I hope to do what I can to make us all synthetic biology champions.
Zoran Marinkovic
I studied Molecular Biology at University of Zagreb (Croatia) and did a semester long exchange at Uppsala University (Sweden) where I studied Microbial and Evolutionary Genetics and Bioinformatics. Currently, I'm doing a 5 month long internship at INSERM U1001 under the supervision of Jake Wintermute tackling the question of bacterial aging using the synthetic biology approach.
My primary interest is application of synthetic biology for creating bioproducts as well as using synthetic biology in fundamental research. Also, I'm quite interested in developing synthetic biology as a tool for creating living organisms from scratch as we build many non-living constructs today.
I joined iGEM because I would like to experience and observe the process of generating ideas and creating a science project with a group of people which, I hope, will be interesting and fun to do. Of course, it has to be the Grand Prize winning one.
Claire Mayer
I think Synthetic Biology has a tremendous potential, and especially in medical and environmental applications.
iGEM is my M1 internship. I wanted to join the iGEM team in order to work in a pluridisciplinary environment on an exciting synthetic biology project, and learn a lot from each participant, and let them learn from me.
What do I do apart from studying? I am Co President of Paris Descartes' Debating Club and I give lessons to an adult class in biology (in preparation of an exam called "le brevet adulte"). I love genetics and immunology.
Denis Samuylov
I finished my undergraduate studies in 2011 in Saint Petersburg State Polytechnical University in Russia. I was learning technical and physical courses, e.g. Electrodynamics, Optics, Quantum Physics, Math, Statistics, Computer Sciences, Electronics… At the moment, I am in the first year of the Interdisciplinary Approaches to Life Science (AIV) Master Program and I fell in love with Biology... or rather Synthetic Biology!
So, with my interdisciplinary background I intend to apply my numerous skills to make humanity's life better and save the world. I am deeply interested in fighting cancer and to participate in ecological projects. I am sure that participation in iGEM is a great possibility to meet interesting people, share my skills and to learn something new! And of course to have a fun summer while realizing useful project!
As for my other interests, I love sports, dancing, music, nature and life!
Sarah Patriarche
I chose this master that gathers students of diverse backgrounds from around the world because I thought that my biology skills would be enriched while exposing myself to different people and subjects.
That is part of what made me come often to the Centre de Recherche Interdisciplinaire. Through the courses and Synthetic Biology Club that I participated in there, I discovered iGEM. The creation of a concrete and useful original project, the fun, the diligent work and the diverse people all converging together to the same goal are some of the reasons why I want to be part of this adventure.
After IGEM and between my first and second year of master I will probably do a one year trip around the world, working sometimes in labs, sometimes diverse jobs. After that I hope I'll have a more enlightened vision of the world, our issues and natural treasures. I think this would help me to be a better scientist and human being.
Aishah Prastowo
Before my master I did Engineering Physics in Gadjah Mada University Indonesia. As my final project of my undergraduate, I studied microfluidics and did a project on low-cost microfluidic system for generating biomicrobubbles. Currently I am doing my internship about real-time control of gene expression in yeast. For me engineering is all about systems design and modeling, making innovation and troubleshooting, and so is synthetic biology. I hope I can learn both science and soft skills by participating in iGEM, while contributing my best for the team.
Julianne Rieders
I earned my B.A. at Bryn Mawr College, Bryn Mawr Pa, where I studied biology and East Asian studies. I am primarily interested in molecular therapeutics, and believe that the application of synthetic and systems biology to this field will allow for the development of safer more efficient treatments. I am currently involved in a hardcore synthetic biology project working with both bacterial and mammalian cells. Participating in iGEM is an ideal opportunity to apply and share my skills in this field, as well as expand my skill set, in an exciting and competitive environment.
Ernest Mordret
By the end of high school, I had quite a hard time choosing between biology studies and the classical engineering track. Thus, iGEM and synthetic biology are a way to use this engineering approach in order to serve my passion for biology. I am deeply interested in the robustness of synthetic gene circuits and in the development of innovative directed evolution strategies. During my internships and theoretical trainings, I acquired skills in population genetics, molecular biology and microfluidics, and I will try to bring as much energy, commitment, suggestions and solutions as possible for the team!
Guillaume Villain
I am really interested in synthetic biology, modeling of biological systems, education, directed evolution and protein engineering. I would like especially to know more about extremophilic protein, which is why I am doing an internship in the institute of physico-chemical biology (IBPC, Paris) in a bioinformatics laboratory to study molecular modeling of extremophilic protein.
I love interdisciplinarity and I think iGEM is a fantastic opportunity to learn a lot about synthetic biology and sciences in an innovative way.
Ariel Lindner
INSERM tenured senior researcher and co-director of the AIV master, has graduated from the Hebrew University (Jerusalem, Israel) "Amirim" interdisciplinary program with major in Chemistry and received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the Weizmann Institute of Science (Rehovot, Israel) in Chemical Immunology for his work on catalytic antibodies as enzyme models, antibody conformational changes and directed evolution. After a research period at the Scripps Institute (California, USA), he received EMBO and Marie Curie fellowships to pursue postdoctoral work in Paris. His study interest evolve around applying Physical, Chemical and Biological approaches to study variability between clonal individuals. he si an associate professor at the Paris Descartes university faculty of Medicine (2008/9) and serves as the director of studies of the Center for Research and Interdisciplinarity (CRI).
Antoine Decrulle
I'm a first year PhD student working on synthetic biology. My interest for this field started 3 years ago when i did the first year of the AIV master program and participated to the iGEM Paris team in 2010. I have to say that this experience of research influenced me a lot during the past two years. Last year I decided to share my experience of synthetic biology and of the iGEM competition by advising the paris iGEM team 2011. This was a great experience for me that's why I decided to keep doing it this year for the new Paris 2012 team.
Aleksandra Nivina
My interest in iGEM began in 2010 when I participated in this competition as a member of the Paris team. It was a wonderful way to learn Synthetic biology and get a hands-on experience in a research project. In fact, I liked this "scientific adventure" so much that it's now my second year as an adviser.
During this summer, I'm still finishing my undergraduate studies, but hopefully will start a PhD on a synthetic biology related project by autumn.
Babak Nichabouri
As pharmacy student, I have a great interest in biotechnology for life and health sciences. Participating to iGEM last year was for me a great experience in term of learning about science. It could has been done with the formidable help of my previous advisors. I would now like to share my knowledge and experience with the members of the next team.
Jake Wintermute
I'm a postdoctoral researcher working at the Centre de Recherche Interdisciplinaire. I also teach the Synthetic Biology course for the AIV master's students. My Ph.D. comes from the Systems Biology department at Harvard, where I graduated in 2011.
I have been an iGEM fan and groupie for many years, but this will be my first time personally involved with a team. I am looking forward to taking this team to MIT and showing everyone a great time in Boston!
Yifan Yang
I'm a PhD student from the FdV (Frontières du Vivant) PhD school and INSERM U1001, working on the evolutionary and systems biology of bacterial aging. Trained in an interdisciplinary undergraduate program as a biologist and a mathematician in Peking University, I participated in iGEM 2007 as an initiating member of the PKU iGEM team, which won the Grand Prize in MIT. After spending a year in Caltech, I joined François Taddei's group in Paris since 2009. I helped mentoring the 2010 & 2011 Paris iGEM teams, and will do the same this year. I hope as experience grows, I would do a better job both in organizing to help the team be more effective, and in mentoring to help the members to realize their own ideas.

Supporters: plastic bag ban has chance to pass this year
HARTFORD — Supporters of a ban of plastic bags at Connecticut retail checkouts say they plan to renew their push for the legislation.
Bridgeport state Rep. John Hennessy tells the Connecticut Post he believes it can pass this year with new leadership on the Legislature's Environment Committee. Incoming chairman Rep. James Albis of New Haven, has set a public hearing. He said "it's a good debate for us to have."
Supermarkets oppose the bag ban. Connecticut Food Association president Stan Sorkin says he hopes the Legislature will realize it's "not good policy."
Westport banned plastic bags beginning in 2009. Assistant town attorney Gail Kelly, who drafted the ordinance, said it's been effective and well-received.
Dawn Greco of Trumbull says she reuses the bags for other purposes and doesn't want them banned.

The Summer of Code is now underway, infact, last week was Week 1. I've been working on my project for the past ~2 months in some spare time, So up until now i've had very little peer review of the code, testing, and real log of what i've done (except for the SVN commit comments).
Instead of talking about what i've done in the past week (Which honestly, is absolutely nothing — Uni assessments come first!), I'm using this initial Blog entry as a overview of the past 2 months of development i've done.
What has been accomplished so far.
Lets see now..
- Plugin Update Checking: Although this is so far not very advanced, it still works amazingly well.
- Theme Searching: Yep, You can now search for themes directly from within the WordPress Administration panel.
- Theme Installation: It works.. However definitely needs some more work done on it.
The Plugin update checking currently relies on a 3 step method..
Step 1: Check plugin file for a "Update URI:" meta-item, If it is set, then thats the URL where the plugin information is pulled from.
Step 2: Do a search on wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ for a Plugin matching the same name as the Plugin being checked, If ones found, the plugin information is taken directly from the wordpress.org page for the plugin.
Step 3: Pull all the information from the URL specified and make decisions based on whats provided, If theres a newer version available, then display it to the user. At the same time, the plugin also checks the requirements of the plugin if they're supported, Eg. "Plugin only tested up to WordPress 2.1"
Theme searching is pretty standard, the interface is very similar to themes.wordpress.net, infact at present borrows some code from that very page.
Theme Installation is pretty basic as well, This was only put together in a few hours week before last while hiding away from Uni Assessments. I'm writing up some wrapper classes around the Filesystem functions and FTP functions which i'm calling WP_Filesystem, What i aim to do with this is allow a single API for the plugin to use(And potentially others) which can modify/access files either directly via the filesystem, or by FTP(php_ftp ext; php sockets; php streams; etc). At Present i've got a basic model for Direct Filesystem modification working, which will most likely be fleshed out a bit once more work is put into it as well. theres some basic PHP_Ftp Extension class work in some messy code too from a previous project.
What are your plans for the upcoming week.
heh, This part reminds me of a Simpsons quote… "Krusty: *reading from auto-queue* Now its time for my favourite part of the show! *groan* Speaking to the audience!" ok, chances are, that quote is probably right off track.. but simpsons fans will probably know the scene i'm refering to :)
Items that i'd like to work on this week include improving the security of the plugin (i'm mainly thinking of nonces..) and working on WP_Filesystem a bit more, however due to the way i've tended to code, i'll most likely also improve the Theme Installation and re-code some of my older code which no longer makes sense.
Problems/Chalenges so far
The first thing that comes to mind is the lack of a data-interface to the wordpress.org/extend/plugin and theme.wordpress.net setups, Now some people might suggest that this should've been the first thing that i looked at getting done, however i have so far been putting it off for one simple reason: I dont want to mark any access methods in stone before i'm fully sure of the data i'm going to want in the plugin. But i've been thinking about this as well for the past month, theres several possible methods, RSS feed, XML File, PHP Serialised Array, Plain text, etc, Personally i'm leaning towards a PHP Serialised Array, quite possibly simply because of the effort involved in parsing the XML File compared to it, And that i honestly dont know much about a RSS feed layout and how WordPress's include RSS parser would handle multiple fields in it.. Thats something i'll have to look into in time.
The next item that comes to mind is the lack of documentation available for certain things, Or quite possibly, The lack of knowldge on my part to know how to find what i want. namely the i8n functions, _e() and __(), How do you use them correctly? AFAIK best practive is to wrap all text blocks in a _e() call, But what else do i do with it exactly? What about when i want to put a few variables into the string, do i use sprintf(), do i concat things with __().. etc.
On that note.. the WordPress Object Cache was another hurdle that i hit, For some reason cache objects were exireing before my custom cache timeout value.Turns out, the custom expiration value is completely ignored at present. I created a patch for this using the modification time of the file created.. As of yet, there hasnt been much interest in it, It needs an updated patch to be uploaded to keep it in line with the current SVN though.
Back to the Plugin update notifications, One problem i've found there is that the plugin name thats shown within WordPress isnt necesarily the same name that the Plugin exists within the wordpress.org world, This is causing some anoyances with the current method of searching for plugins.. as it means not all plugins can be found, which subsequently means some plugins may have updates available which i cant find automatically. I think the best way will be for all Plugins to include a link to the update location, either be that a WordPress.org slug, or URI to its update location.
Well, this post has become more of a essay rather than a short update, but i guess thats what you get for having 2 months worth of status sitting in your mind. Hopefully future posts will be much shorter.
For all those who want to check out some screen shots of the current work, Have a look at my previous blog entry on the topic: http://dd32.id.au/2007/04/17/google-summer-of-code-wp-update/ If anyone would like to look at the source code at present, you can do a SVN Checkout on my current dev. build here: http://wordpress-soc-2007.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/dd32.crazyman/trunk/

A Foodie's Tour of London
When I travel I like to go on what I call a "foodie's tour" of the city. London is more than mushy peas and shepherd's pie. Any foodie can tell you that London's foodie scene is vibrant and diverse.
Exploring London's foodie scene requires nothing more than an a
underground pass and asense of adventure. The stop on the west side of London should be Bao Korean restaurant. There is absolutely no wrong pick at Bao. I would recommend starting confit pork bao and the spiced lemon soda.
The next stop should be Paxton & Whitfield in Soho this fromagerie is a cheese lovers paradise. The staff is so knowledge about all things cheese that you can describe the mouthfeel and texture you are looking for and they will make delicious selection. After take a stroll through soho you should check out Berry Bros & Rudd whose wine selection is superior. The staff is knowledgeable and will go the extra step to ensur
e you select the best wine.
For fish & chips I highly recommend Golden Union Fish & Chips. Even a small serving means you end up with a piece of fish large enough to hang off your plate. For after dinner drinks head over to the speakeasy Happiness Forgets and order a "Writer's block" then challenge the bartender to go crazy and make something off menu based on your mood.
Do not make the mistake of leaving London without a trip to Greenwich market which is a Unesco World Heritage site. Here you will some of the best street food that London has to offer. If you spend more than 10 gbp before your stomach is filled then you are doing something wrong. London is a foodie's paradise.
