Anyways, today Eliz was all over the 'house' area - they have a little sink, and an oven and fridge, and a little 'hob' (aka stovetop or burners. I know - hob?? What kind of a name is that??!) and Eliz and this boy named Rowan were having a serious cooking show demonstration. Then she re-discovered the drive-yourself cars.
The first (and last) time she 'drove' one of these was a long time ago, and after chewing the steering wheel, she fell right through the hole in the bottom and got stuck. I was cleverly taking this photo instead of preventing her from falling, earning me one of my many Mum Of The Year ribbons.
|Look how little she was!! This was taken March 30, 2011!!! So cute!!
Can it be? Is she a little girl now, and not a baby?? Yeah right!!

In 2008, October Revolution came to the aid of Jerry Seinfeld. After Dreamworks and Paramount Pictures used the pun, "Give bees a chance," to promote Seinfeld's animated Bee Movie, a Florida-based pharmaceuticals firm sued, claiming to have filed for a trademark on the phrase one year earlier. Reading his morning paper, Tom took interest in the story, knowing the pun first appeared in October Revolution's Bee-In protest scene. He contacted Dreamworks, suggesting they make the satiric novel, copyrighted in 1998, part of their defense. Dreamworks, arguing the "Plaintiff's claims are barred because Plaintiff was not the first to use the purported mark in commerce," prevailed. Interestingly, the Florida firm also claims rights to "Bee In."
October Revolution, coincidentally, was optioned for movie rights shortly after publication. The project made it to script stage (bad news for one of the main characters, who doesn't make it to the end of this version), but has yet to see the light of a theater projector.

Spa at Cinco Ranch
I recently visited Laura in Katy, Texas, after several long weeks of stressful work, and I suddenly realized that my hair had that nasty "is it blonde or is it really gray?" look to it! It was definitely awful! I then randomly called the Spa at Cinco Ranch located at 23050 Westheimer Parkway, and they squeezed me in for a hair cut and color! What a pleasant surprise! The location is convenient, the atmosphere is elegant, the flavored water was delicious, and best of all my cut and color were outstanding. My husband and daughter each commented that someone would not be able to tell whether my hair was color treated or if it grew out of my head that color. This was exactly what I had asked for! In addition, the cut looked just like the picture I brought with me. I will definitely return the Spa at Cinco Ranch, and try some of their other services as well.

Slamdance finalist Super Columbine Massacre RPG has been officially kicked from the festival due to mounting pressure from protesters and the loss of sponsorship, the game's creator told Kotaku Thursday night.
This is the first time in the Slamdance Festival's 13-year history that a game or film has been removed from the festival due to criticism or outside pressure. —Exclusive: Columbine Game Kicked From Competition (Kotaku)
I cited this game as an example in a paper I gave at the National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education in November. My point was that the young audience that Holocaust educators want to reach has a different set of moral and aesthetic responses to games than the adults who don't have much to say beyond dropping their jaws. The Holocaust deniers and other promoters of hate and violence already have their issue-oriented games out there. While I think it's exaggerating to suggest that a Jew-bashing game is going to have much impact (those games, like the Christian-themed evangelical games typically have poor production values and won't really attract the interest of someone who doesn't already share the world view that the game is trying to promote). There is enough social commentary embedded within this particular RPG that I think it moves beyond cynical exploitation, and really attempts to use a popular medium in an effective way.
The designer, Danny Ledonne, speaks eloquently and thoughtfully about his creation (in this article and elsewhere on Kotaku).
Update, Jan 6: Ian Bogost offers a good overview of the Slandance controversy. It looks like it wasn't external pressure from advertisers after all, but one person's concern about what MIGHT happen if the game were to be part of the show.
I teach plenty of safe classics, but I also teach books that contain disturbing and threatening ideas. I find it amazingly hypocritical that Slamdance (an indie film festival, founded to protest commercialism at Sundance) would override the artistic decisions of the panel that agreed to let the Columbine game into the competition.

Soon to be 90 - Aged To Perfection
My family held a birthday party for my mother last weekend to celebrate her upcoming 90th birthday. We came from near and far, mostly far as only Mom and one of my brothers, his wife and son still live in the area where we grew up. There are still cousins there but the majority of mom's direct descendants came from Florida, Louisiana, Texas, the Carolinas and Missouri to honor her on this special occasion.
We held the party at my brothers home and had over 100 people join us for hamburgers, hot dogs, just plain fun as the kids climbed trees, rock piles, took pictures, hiked around the farm and pond area and even the adults enjoyed the games that were set up. We took many pictures, including shots of each of the four descending family lines. We had all four of her children, all but one grandchild, all but four great grandchildren and all of her great-greats were there.
Here's mom looking out at us lined up along the lane to my brother's house, singing happy birthday to her as my younger sister drove her in.
Many of the grandkids greeted her, some in tears, some in humor as she and granddaughter Missi, show their kindred spirit in the photo above! This photo was a favorite on Facebook!
This is a picture of the photo quilt my sister made for mom for this occasion. It is massive and full of memories in the form of pictures from family and friends over the years.
This is a picture of Mom with each of her four children. From left to right as you look at the photo are my sister Robin, mom seated, me on her left. Brothers Jim and Alan are in the back.
This is a picture of her entire line of descendants, in-laws and a couple of future family members as two of her great-granddaughters are engaged to be married. I'm sorry we couldn't all be there but we were close, closer than I thought we would be in the beginning of the planning process. There are so many more pictures that I could post here, but these will do for now.
So happy 90th Mom. Your family loves you!

Seed Beads We Love: New Twin Two-Holed Seed Beads
In case you haven't seen the latest innovative bead to come out of the Czech Republic, let me introduce you. Dear Reader, please meet the new Twin seed bead from Preciosa Ornela.
These lovely little seed beads are slightly longer and wider than a regular seed bead, and for good reason: they have two holes! These are some of the smallest two-holed beads that I have ever seen, and they are perfect for bead-weaving in all kinds of new and interesting ways.
Currently, there are eight different colors and two finishes available, but the Preciosa Ornela website states that over eighty colors will be available before the end of 2012. Each Twin seed bead measures 2.5mm x 5mm, and they are highly consistent in size.
The style and shape of these lovely little Czech seed beads will be especially wonderful for geometric bead-weaving projects. Twin seed beads also work beautifully as spacer beads between larger gemstone or glass beads to add a small hint of color and shape to strung beadwork.
Right now, you can find eight colors of Twin seed beads at Sparkle Spot Bead Shop including: crystal, black, dark bronze, black silver Picasso, copper-lined crystal, and silky gold iris. You can find more information about these new Twin seed beads at the Preciosa Ornela website.
Have you tried these new Twin seed beads yet? What are your thoughts?
Bead Happy,

Global Cargo and Aircraft Ground Handling
Swissport International Ltd, the world's leading provider of ground and cargo services to the aviation sector, has won the Ground Handling category of the Cargo Airline of the Year Awards 2013, the first time that these prestigious awards have included a Ground Handling category. The award from Air Cargo Media Group, publisher of the highly respected newspaper Air Cargo News, follows a rigorous judging process by a panel of independent experts that analysed Swissport's global performance, quality standards, and initiatives to improve its services to customers.
The judges agreed that Swissport Cargo Services had demonstrated a series of exceptional achievements across its business over the last 12 months. Those are embracing substantial progress in quality and performance initiatives, process standardisation, technological innovations, network expansion, and enhancing customer relationships and services, along with internal initiatives to optimise its levels of efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Examples include major progress within the air cargo industry's Cargo 2000 (C2K) quality initiative, where Swissport has taken leadership among cargo handlers worldwide. Training initiatives like rolling out its New Cargo Technical Training Programme worldwide, while key technology innovations included the development of a mobile (smartphone or tablet) version of Swissport's industry-leading Freightfinder track-and-trace service. Swissport's acquisition of Flightcare in Spain and Belgium last year further expanded the group's cargo network and capabilities, and the company also opened various cargo handling operations around the world to support the growth of customers.
The award was presented at a glittering event in London on Saturday, 27th April, to John Batten, Swissport International's Executive Vice President Global Cargo. He commented: "I am immensely proud to receive this award on behalf of all our employees worldwide, who have achieved a lot during the past year. Among our many achievements I am particularly proud of our progress within Cargo 2000, where Swissport has taken the initiative from talk to action, embedding it at the core of service performance management.
"We must never rest upon our successes and we are relentlessly looking at our business to further develop and adapt to continuously improve our service performance and introduce new innovations and solutions for customers, and so I am confident that we can maintain our leadership within the sector in offering the highest quality and best value cargo handling services to customers around the world."
Swissport International Ltd. provides ground services for around 118 million passengers and 3.5 million tonnes of cargo a year on behalf of some 650 client-companies in the aviation sector. With a workforce of around 40,000 personnel, Swissport is active at 192 stations in 38 countries on five continents, and generates annual consolidated operating revenue of CHF 1.9 billion.www.swissport.com

customers that have found our products to be the type of investment
Last year we made two BIG changes, first by focusing our role as a manufacturer
for dealers and value-added resellers that resell and integrate our products into everything
from turnkey antenna kits to commercial applications. Secondly, we changed our plant hours and production schedules to be more economical for our wholesale role.
This year, we will be updating our sales order system, introduce redesigned product sheets, labeling and possibly a couple of new products to address a growing non-technical market.
However, to cut to the chase – our product segments are located below through this menu.
To address questions about availability of our REYCO Antenna Trap line. It is true that
we have momentarily retired the line while we talk with companies and individuals interested
in manufacturing and maintaining this product here in the USA. The REYCO W2VS line of traps
provide a highly sought-after solution to a multiband wire antenna. We will announce more information as we are comfortable doing so.

Aka the Southern Cross Novel Challenge. It's like NaNoWriMo, but in June, so that those poor people in the southern hemisphere have something to do during the winter months as well. A friend sent me the link, and I must say it does sound tempting. I have two days to think of a plot, exams in mid-June, lots of tests next week, I'm starting work on Friday and I still need to write a few physics reports.
But maybe I'll do it. Maybe. Improvising is fun.
I finally got Marcus to stop the weird philosophical discussions, but I still need to figure out what happens to him next. He has got to get back to the north somehow but I'm not sure how, or with which legion. Once Cerialis gets to Mainz there will be about ten different legions (including the two who surrendered) to keep track of and it'll take a lot of post-its to figure out which legion was where at what time. I think Marcus will just have to stay with the Twenty-second; it's easier that way. It means that he won't be at the battle of Trier (but Geravan will be there so it doesn't matter), but the Twenty-second did go to Xanten just before the invasion of the Rhineland. Marcus would love to go back there, I'm sure.
Okay, novel problems aside. My ankle hurts like hell. I've gone jogging almost every day the last month and twisted my ankle about a week ago. Well, it didn't hurt much then, but the day after we had a running test during phys ed, 3 km. I got a new personal best (14 min 31 s, two seconds better than last time, lol) but I also wrecked my ankle even further. I can walk and bike, no problem, but it hurts. Argh. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for all that walk-in character whose ankle I broke because I had to get rid off him somehow.

NY Daily News: Brandon Tierney Talks Giants-Niners on Eve of NFC Championship Matchup
It didn't take long for Brandon Tierney to answer the question.
What Bay Area story did he consider bigger? Andrew Luck? Mark Jackson becoming coach of the Warriors? The 49ers' run to the NFC Championship Game? Or him becoming afternoon drive host on San Francisco's 95.7 The Game?
"Don't be an ass, come on," Tierney shot back over the telephone. "I'm not saying that. Stop."
Shocking. Tierney, never shy about extolling his own virtues, didn't take the bait. Maybe the three-hour time difference has humbled him. Yeah, sure. We felt like one of Tierney's callers. The Dismissive One had more substantive issues to deal with.
Like the Niners and their fans who are calling to remind him how he put them down, even as they rolled along to a 13-3 season. "I didn't believe in the Niners, at all," Tierney said. "I was getting pummeled out here."
For Tierney, who teams with former Niners cornerback Eric Davis, the taste of crow ain't half bad. He finds himself in the middle of what will be the football universe, taking calls from fans who believe the 49ers will dismantle the Giants Sunday in Candlestick.
In the fans' minds, Tierney, raised in Brooklyn, isn't just from the the other side of the country. He's from another planet. And he likes the Giants Sunday, 24-17.
For the talkie, it's all about material. Tierney had no idea the ground would become so fertile when he decided to pull up stakes with his wife Jennifer and move across the country. See, in San Francisco, a relatively tranquil place, Bennys from the Bronx and Iras from Staten Island don't grow on trees.
When we last left Tierney it was late July. In May, after nine years yakking at the station, ESPN-1050 boss David Roberts unceremoniously dropped-kicked him out the studio door.
Tierney landed on the dock of the Bay in August and immediately proceeded to target the Oakland A's and their fans. Another detail: 95.7 The Game is the radio home of the A's. He referred to their stadium as "a coffin," said the team was "atrocious," and characterized A's fans as "insane" for supporting a product pitched by an owner who "can't wait" to move the team to San Jose.
It wasn't exactly love at first bite between Tierney and the Northern California Chapter of the Valley of the Stupid. Tierney decided to champion another seemingly lost cause. Last summer, almost every caller wanted Niners brass to dump Alex Smith.
"Every ounce of emotion was anti-Alex Smith," Tierney said. "Fans had already cut the cord. They were convinced he was beyond rehabilitation, that he was mentally weak, he couldn't make the throws — just not the guy."
Tierney decided to play voice of reason. He wanted to see Smith with his own eyes.
"I said it wouldn't be fair of me to bury this guy," Tierney said. "Just like I wouldn't want you (listeners) burying me after one show."
Six months later Tierney is still talking on the radio. And Smith is coming off a memorable performance against the Saints that helped propel the Niners into the championship game. Those shovels are still in the closet.
Tierney is on the air. Two days away from the title game and you don't hear the typical New York bashing from 49ers fans. Nor are the Giants being pounded either. It all seems so civil.
"It's more of an anti-national sentiment from these 49er fans," Tierney said. "They think the rest of the country is lined up against them. They believe the Niners get no respect. They have a chip on their shoulders.
"That old perception of Niners fans — a little passive, the wine and cheese thing. That's been replaced by a new generation that hasn't won. They are grittier, more vocal."
As far as that "vocal" thing, Tierney can't say the same for Niners GM Trent Baalke, who has a weekly segment on his show.
"Compared to Trent, Mike Tannenbaum comes off like Chris (Mad Dog) Russo. I'm serious. Trent is a very conservative guy," Tierney said. "We may have had a personality conflict early on, but I will never let it get in the way of telling Trent what a great job he's done."
Ah, that's sweet.
Jim Harbaugh is under contract to KNBR, the radio home of the Niners, but makes a monthly appearance on Tierney's show.
"He's got a little (Eric) Mangini in him. Long term I'm not sure that's a great thing. If he has his first seven-win season that act doesn't fly as much," Tierney said. "He's pissed some people off, there's no doubt. I'd be lying if I said everybody likes Jim Harbaugh, but everybody certainly respects him."
The West Coast has not interfered with Tierney's ability to infuriate. Nor did it damage his all-knowing attitude. Tierney says he roams the streets of San Francisco anonymously. He says it's not like New York where he was recognized by cabbies and characters looking for his opinion.
He misses that. The ego is still there (duh).
Still, Tierney has plenty of company from the old "neighborhood." Jackson, David Lee, Melky Cabrera, Angel Pagan and even Nate Robinson are all out there.
"Hey," he said, "all we need is Isiah (Thomas) and we've officially got a circus."
Then Brandon Tierney laughed.
It was the laugh of a man comfortable in his new surroundings.

ON AIR - Sunday Night Live
with Shireen Langan
In fairness to Snapchat, memories are a good idea.
It gives us more wiggle room with what we post to our stories and we are no longer limited to what we've captured on the app alone.
Like many, however, we've been having a few issues with saving our snaps, which just go straight to memories.
via Giphy
Since the memories function was first introduced, people have been quite frustrated with this issue.
We've just discovered, however, it's OPTIONAL.
To save your snaps to your camera roll, simply go to your Snapchat settings in the app.
Under 'My Account' you will see the option 'Memories.'
Under 'Saving' you can change to save your snap to just memories, just your camera roll or both.
Well, now we just feel silly.

Indispensable elements of business and personal loan approvalsBusiness Loan, Business Tips, Personal Loan 1 Comment
Hopefully, you know the definitions and sources of various loans. You should know that the post is all about two types. Is there any difference in between personal loans that are taken for self-employed individuals and business loans that are taken by present and future entrepreneurs? According to a small portion, there is no difference in between these two types. But some other people find these two types different from each other. Even though there are similarities, the second type is having the correct view. Let's undertake the similarities and dissimilarities. Hence, we will be discussing some indispensable elements of loan approval.
Both the personal and business loans are unsecured in nature, and offered by banks or non-banking financial companies, after a set of inspections. A business loan is given to the business agencies for the establishment or enlargement of business projects. Given to an individual, a personal loan is driven by the personal cash necessities. However, a personal loan is sometimes given to the proprietorship, partnership or limited companies. ITR, income tax return, is the other thing that brings into consideration while dispatching a personal loan or a business loan. Even though this is a lenient factor, you cannot get a loan without its consideration. Whether you are applying for a personal loan to a Delhi-based NBFC, a Kolkata-based NBFC or a Mumbai-based NBFC, your income tax return will bring into consideration, for sure. We are not insisting you to control those factors which are out of your control, but this is a factor which is strictly controlled by you.
Also read: The Prominence Of Social Media On Computer-Generated Credit Score
Credit history is another factor that requires deep attention. Well, the credit history is considered in the case of a business loan. You are not supposed to present a healthy credit history if you are applying for a personal loan. Your business revenue will be considered if you are applying for a business loan. Of course, some fin-tech companies consider it as a less essential factor. But yes, a loan cannot be dispatched without its consideration. Many more things are there that require special attention. Due to the limitation of page boundary, we are not discussing those elements today. But we promise that we will highlight some more elements in our upcoming post. So, stays tuned with us, and enrich your knowledge about business as well as personal loan approvals. We have taken the responsibility to explore and share the facts, throughout our write-ups.

Team Sh! had the idea for this post this morning, when we read the instructions for a new G-spot Vibrator and found this classic:
'Do not use product while asleep'
Apart from thinking it was funny, we were kind of surprised – we'd never stock a vibrator so boring it sent you to sleep! But it set us thinking about some of the classic vibrator instructions we've seen over the years, and the reasons for them.
There's a logic behind not falling asleep with a vibrator still switched on, because any toy might, if left running long enough, get quite hot. (Or run down your batteries and be really disappointing next time you switch it on!) Usually there is a good reason for the weirdest instructions for a sex toy.
Common Vibrator Warnings
'Do not use on unexplained calf pain'
This seems like a strange use for a vibrator – we've not encountered too many customers with inexplicably painful calves who thought that using a Rabbit Vibe on them was going to help!
The reason for this vibrator instruction, apparently, is to avoid the risk of causing a blood clot (deep vein thrombosis) to move around the body, which can be dangerous. After some extensive googling, we can't find any instance of this actually happening. We strongly suspect a lawyer somewhere sat down to work out every possible way someone could cause accidental harm with a vibrator, and came up with a cover-all instruction for each & every vibrator manual!
On a similar theme, there's this instruction;
'Sold as a novelty item only'
So, what's a novelty item? Well, in the USA, sex toys can be legally sold as a 'novelty item', putting them in the same category as blow-up sheep and other joke-shop stuff. We reckon that's a bit cheeky – sex toys are much more important and ought to have higher standards, but using that label means manufacturers don't have to take legal responsibility for the vibrator as a usable toy, just as a joke for a hen-night. Here at Sh! we've got our own higher standards and only the very best toys make their way on to our shelves, but they'll still come with that warning in the instructions, so the manufacturer can sell it in the USA.
We've also seen this instruction on many a vibrator package:
'To avoid injury or aggravation of pre-existing conditions, this device should not be used on swollen or inflamed areas of skin'
Which raises the question, as many women have objected, what do they mean by swollen or inflamed?
Does an excited clitoris count?
This is more legal-speak designed to cover the backs of manufacturers, rather than to help the customers, we think…
We also love the Fun Factory warning pictures attached to their instructions. We spent a while thinking 'Don't sniff it or listen to it? Why not?' before we realised that the vibe was not meant to be put in your ear or up your nose. (We still don't know why anyone would try that!)
Or this fabulous clanger: "Stimulate the anal of good assistant" – does it mean we should reward helpful staff with some anal rubbing..? We are pretty sure HR will have issues with this kind of hands-on approach!
So, there's a whistle-stop tour round the odder things that lawyers think we might do with our toys! Our very favourite, though, is the one Rocks-Off put on the Rude Boy, one of our most popular prostate massagers:
'Warning – Intense ejaculation!'
Now there's vibrator instruction we can work with! We want to put 'Warning – incredible orgasms ahead!' on some of our goodies now…

WOU talk on surviving economic downturn to MEF members/
Over 40 members of the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) attended a talk on 'Meandering Mean Times' at Wawasan Open University to gain some insight on how to tackle the current economic challenge.
The talk was presented by WOU's School of Foundation and Liberal Studies dean Dr Mogana Dhamotharan and human resources director Shirley Khoo Suan Gaik. They addressed the prevailing concern of employers on how to cope and manage, for now and in the future, the fast becoming bleak economic times.
Dr Mogana suggested employers encourage their employees to seek additional skills so as to create synergistic results that will benefit all parties involved in the economy.
"More importantly, now is probably the right time to look into ways of turning uncertain times like these into opportunities for ourselves," she added.
Meanwhile Shirley shared from her extensive HR experience on how to optimally manage personnel and resources during hard economic times.
The talk was given at the monthly MEF regional industrial meeting which was held at WOU and attended by human resource practitioners from business and logistics, hotels, automobile industry, electronics, recruitment, manufacturing, distribution and from importer companies.
MEF Penang branch chairman Zainol Zakaria chaired the meeting while Industrial Relations senior consultant William Joseph presided over the discussion to offer advice and assistance.
The monthly meetings are held to discuss various employment issues and as a platform for members to exchange views and update each other on the latest ways of improving themselves as employers.

Performing the Sixteenth-Century Brain
Beyond Word and Image Inscriptions
Reihe: Geschichte
Bd. 147, 2018, 260 S., 39.90 EUR, br., ISBN 978-3-643-90968-8
At the juncture of history and literary criticism, Performing the Sixteenth-Century Brain re-examines two books, Hans von Gersdorff's Feldtbuch der Wundtartzney (Fieldbook of Surgery) and Lorenz Fries' Spiegel der Artzny (Mirror of Medicine) that include some of the first visually accurate representations of the body and brain. The central objective of this book is to shift the focus away from the images themselves to their production and interpretation in the early sixteenth century. Kısmet Bell's close readings of Gersdorff's Feldtbuch der Wundtartzney and Fries' Spiegel der Artzny follow the meandering path of the inner senses of common sense, imagination, reason, and memory as these were the mental powers which framed that which was knowable. Performing the Sixteenth-Century Brain describes how the brain was, rather than a radically new discovery, an unintended artefact that emerged through slight shifts in the codes of inscription.
Jameson Kısmet Bell is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Western Languages and Literatures at Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey.

Fill out the form below to request a complimentary consultation to discuss the development potential of your block.
At Developments by Impressions we pride ourselves on exceptional customer service and attention to detail coupled with our team's unrivalled industry experience. It is this that makes us the preferred partner for both seasoned and first time developers in Perth.
On behalf of Nicholas and the rest of us Robsons, I would like to say what an absolute pleasure it has been dealing with Impressions. Special thank you's to Frank Ferraloro, Liz Bazzica, Peter Glencross, yourself, and Terry Moore from the Loan Co.
The home is high quality, the building process has been smooth and trouble free, and the customer service has been exceptional. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Impressions to anyone wishing to build a new home.
Karen & Nicholas Robson
Just wanted to mention how much I'm enjoying the "Impressions" experience!
You and your staff have been wonderful and I've had quite a few compliments about my house.
Adrienne Scargill
We chose Developments by Impressions to do our first triplex development and the result was so successful we've decided to do it again! Frank Ferraloro and his team are remarkably design savvy and their skills are second to none. Though our first development was a flat rectangular block, site easements and local council requirements made the development quite a challenge. Frank offered extremely valuable advice and made considerate suggestions, which were appropriate and appreciated. The project costs were reasonable and affordable. The construction phase was equally rewarding and the resultant rental income from the development has made life much more comfortable.
Now, the second time around, I contacted Frank with the site dimensions even before I contacted the selling agent! Though advertised as "triplex potential" it looked doubtful to us. Frank replied straight away with a rough plan of triplex feasibility and guided us throughout the offer and acceptance period. Within four weeks we had amazing plans showing three spacious and unique houses and as a result we've bought a triangular sloping block in a popular suburb that most buyers wouldn't give a second thought. We look forward to another prosperous journey with Developments by Impressions!
The Byrd family
I have been associated with Frank Ferraloro and Joe Mule from Impressions since 2007 and during this time have they have designed and built a number projects for me including homes on House and Land Packages as well as multiple unit developments.
The service provided by Frank and Joe is second to none and their expertise and knowledge in creating the best solution for any proposed development is quite unique. This team at Impressions remove all the problems associated with developing property from the initial concept design to the planning process through councils to budget feasibilities and costs and to finally delivering high quality built homes. This professional team of planners and designers make the whole process easy.
The hand's on service from Frank and Joe always delivers a quality product with exceptional attention to detail right down to the landscaping and fencing. It is this great service and the years of experience that has built our longstanding relationship.
I have no hesitation in recommending Frank and Joe to anyone contemplating doing a development whether it is a small 2 unit development or a major multi-unit project.
Yours sincerely,
Vince Costantino
Goldhigh Corporation Pty Ltd
4Land Property Group Pty Ltd partnered with Developments by Impressions in 2010 to design quality house and land options and turnkey homes for a new flagship development in Erskine. Offering a diverse range of cost effective build options, Frank Ferraloro and his team provided innovative designs on sometimes irregular shaped blocks, which contributed to the overall success of this estate.
For a boutique land developer such as ourselves, the personal relationship we share with our builder friends is paramount. Developments by Impressions has competently provided us with the building solutions we require, thinking outside of the box and guiding us when necessary, with professionalism second to none.
We have found the building consultant team at Developments by Impressions to be both professional and efficient in all aspects of their work. They are knowledgeable and supportive which enables our business to excel at the things we do best. We feel secure in the knowledge we have their commitment and support every step of the way.
The successful working relationship we have established with Frank and his team has continued to grow over the years and we have used Impressions to design and build quality homes at various other 4Land developments in the Perth metropolitan area.
I would be pleased to recommend the services of Frank Ferraloro and his team to other companies.
Yours sincerely,
Travis Kell

What to do this year
Focus on your classes.
Consider taking additional classes in specific subject areas if you have a career goal in mind.
- Sign up for classes that stretch your mind and can earn you college credit, such as Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and Concurrent Enrollment (CE). Talk to your school counselor for more information.
- Verify with your counselor that you are taking classes that will help you succeed in college.
Think about what math class you'll take your senior year
It's important to take a 4th year of math in high school so that math doesn't become a stumbling block when you enter college.
- Meet with your counselor to make sure you pick the right math class for your future. It's best to complete your college math requirements through Concurrent Enrollment while still in high school.
- Read about what CE math class to take that best fits with your future plans.
Take the ACT.
In Utah, all students can take the ACT for free during their junior year.
- Take the ACT in the spring. If you don't like your score, plan to take it again. Get free ACT test preparation materials at UtahFutures.org, or download the free ACT App to get daily ACT test prep questions.
- Use the Utah College Directory to check the admissions pages of Utah colleges you hope to attend to see if there is a specific ACT score you should be aiming for. Some scholarships also require a certain minimum ACT score, so check the requirements for the scholarships you hope to earn.
Consider your college options.
Think about what colleges you want to attend, and learn about their application process.
- Make a list of your top college choices and get ready to apply during your senior year. Research each college's admissions process. If you're thinking about going to a school in Utah, visit the Utah College Directory to learn more.
Visit college campuses.
There's nothing like being on campus to get a feel for what attending college will be like. Be sure to talk to friends, family, neighbors, and teachers about their college experiences as well.
- Go on a campus tour. Schedule one by visiting the college's website or calling. Find more info at the Utah College Directory. Ask your campus tour guide these questions.
- Attend a summer camp offered by a college near you.
- Attend a college fair to explore different colleges and universities. These are sometimes held at a high school. Ask your school counselor for information or search online.
Get organized for your final year.
Take stock of your accomplishments, and get prepared for your senior year.
- Some colleges (and scholarships) require one or more letters of recommendation. Decide which teachers might be willing to write letters of recommendation next year, and ask them. Some teachers like to write these letters over the summer, so it's important to let them know what you're expecting from them.
- Get a job over the summer to set aside money for college and gain valuable experience you can add to your resume.
Research possible careers.
Use this year to think more about what career you are interested in. There's nothing like job shadowing and internships to get real hands-on experience.
- Job shadow at a business/organization you're interested in. Check to see if you could do an internship, which provides you with great experience.
- Talk to professionals in the area of study you're interested in. Ask your school counselor or parents/guardians to help you find them.
Learn about the many ways to pay for college.
Scholarships, grants, work-study, and student loans are all types of financial aid that you could qualify for.
- Forecast how much financial aid you could qualify for by taking the FAFSA4Caster. Learn about the different types of financial aid available to help you pay for college.
Keep applying for scholarships.
Try to apply to at least three this year.
- Contact a Regents' scholarship representative to make sure you're on track for the Regent's Scholarship. If possible, schedule a meeting to go over your classes for the next school year.
- Look for scholarships and apply to at least three during your junior year.
- See if your high school has a scholarship coordinator to help you find scholarships to apply for, but don't forget to also look in your community and search online.
- Remember, scholarships open every year, so save your essays. That way you don't have to start from scratch every year. The StepUp scholarship toolkit will help you figure out how to start looking and applying for scholarships.
- Keep your scholarship resume updated. Use this template to help get you started.

Women in Revolt: an exploration of short films made by female filmmakers.
Shorts OnTap, London's fastest growing event for film-makers and film lovers, is set to bring to the city a ground-breaking new film series exploring women's diverse identity in April.
The Shorts On Tap team will deliver a series of three short film events that will explore what it means to be a woman in the 21st century. Club des Femmes, a queer-feminist film club, will guest curate a program of classic and contemporary queer-feminist artists' film and video work entitled Body of Work.
Over three weeks an impressive list of up-and-coming and established female filmmakers will share their latest films on a range of themes including the body, FGM, sex and control.
The 3rd and final event in the Women in Revolt series entitled Body Of Work is at the Hotel Elephant, Elephant & Castle on April 20th at 8pm.
The third chapter of the series investigates the most material dimension of sex and sexuality: the body. In an age when commodification has almost completely silenced any mainstream political discussion of the casual use of female nudity, we revisit some seminal films and look to recent works made by women artists exploring the female form.
Like at every Shorts On Tap screening, audiences will be able to discuss the films directly with the people who made them.
Shorts On Tap founder, Filippo Polesel / Michele Fiascaris, says:
"We're really excited about the Women in Revolt series because we've selected some of the best work from the most talented women making short films in London to screen."
"The series will look at themes like challenge, control and the body politic as well as topical issues and how they affect women. Shorts on Tap is all about creating a place for filmmakers and film lovers to come to see new work from new talent in the industry and we're pleased to be bringing filmmakers and audiences closer together."
Club des Femmes co-founder, Selina Robertson, says:
"We are delighted to have been invited to guest curate for Shorts on Tap and to have the opportunity to show some classic and contemporary queer-feminist artists' film and video work to younger audiences".
The program is supported by Film Hub London, managed by Film London, proud to be a partner of the BFI Film Audience Network, funded by the National Lottery.

A lean, mean boxing machine! That's what I am not...yet.
But I have been trying to incorporate boxing into my weekly routine - it's cardio, strength, total-body, HIIT, and low impact on my legs. Did I mention it's FUN and the (good) classes tend to fly by? Half the time I'm concentrating so hard on what the punch sequence is that before I know it, class it over!
My mission to become the next Ali (who is his female counterpart?) has led me to NYSC, Tapout Fitness, Kickbox Haus, Rumble Boxing and Work Train Fight. The latest stop was Shadowbox in the Flatiron District.
The inside of Shadowbox is SO pretty. Which is a little disconcerting for a place where you're supposed to be learning about boxing - a sport with a not so dainty reputation.
But now that boxing has become a trendy fitness fad, some of the studios are big, bright and downright beautiful spaces that attract Lulu-clad ladies. I'm sure the boxing purists out there have their issues with places like Rumble and Shadowbox, but at the end of the day, it's raising awareness about the sport and I think that's a good thing!
A recent conversation centered around the most overall athletic athletes - and we landed on boxers. That never would have been my pick before boutique-boxing became a thing!
I digress.
Shadowbox is a gorgeous studio with a cafe in the lobby serving turmeric lattes and coffee with MCT oil. Trendy AF.
There's an actual boxing ring where private sessions take place (why are boxing rings square?), both men's and women's locker rooms, and a black-lit, mirrored studio with 40 floor to ceiling punching bags ready for you to beat the crap out of.
The studio itself feels slightly cramped when you walk in, but once the class was underway, it wasn't so bad.
There's a pouch at the bottom of each bag with 1 pound weights - it's also where you should store your water bottle so it's not on the floor and in your way! (And pro-tip from the nowhere-near-a-pro...your gloves go up on the top of the bag for the first part of class!)
The warm-up included some simple body-weight/cardio exercises like jumping jacks, butt kicks and high knees.
During this portion of the class, we boxed without gloves and without the bag - like we were boxing a shadow! Get it? There was also the option to use 1 pound hand weights for this part.
We went through the different movements - jab, cross, hooks and uppercuts and did a few different combinations adding in some bobbing and weaving (defensive moves).
I had sucked it up and bought myself wraps ($4) when I arrived, so I was feeling pretty legit and ready to get to business.
The majority of the class was spent going through 7 different rounds of boxing with the heavy bag - gloves on.
Each round is between 3-5 minutes followed by ACTIVE recovery. There isn't a minute of class that you're resting. If you aren't throwing punches, you're doing burpees, lunges, mountain climbers, or some other form of sweet sweet torture. The hardest active recovery that we did, in my opinion, were the MAYWEATHER SITUPS. Good God. You're supposed to go right from a sit up to a stand-up, and even as I clung to the bag to try to heave myself up, I struggled HARD.
How the heck does he make this look easy?? It is not, I assure you.
+Non-stop! Between ab work, cardio drills and bag-work, you're constantly moving during a class at Shadowbox. It's a total body workout for sure.
+Compared to Rumble, Shadowbox relies entirely on body weight exercises for the "strength" component of the class. While I really liked the fact that you used weights at Rumble and it felt like real strength training, the way that Shadowbox is set up makes the transition from strength to boxing a lot smoother and quicker which keeps you on your toes.
+I did really miss the combinations being projected on the wall like they were during class at Rumble, but our instructor did a great job of reminding us during each round of what punches we were supposed to be throwin'.
-The fact that the heavy-bags are floor to ceiling makes it very hard to see the instructor during class. I was constantly moving around to try to get a look at the moves she was demonstrating. (When you sign up online, the website will show you which bags have better views and recommends them for beginners).
-I didn't like that I'm dumb and kept one of my rings on and cut my hand open.
Another gorgeous studio - with lockers, locker rooms, convenient extras like hair-ties and nice products, and even a coffee shop with juices and other goodies.
I was shocked at how few people stayed after class to shower. While the line wasn't long, the space itself was still pretty cramped as people tried to get changed and do their hair and makeup.
The classes are pretty big - much like Rumble, if you're really looking to learn about boxing and get some one on one training, this probably isn't the best place to come (unless you're doing a one on one session in the ring!) There are 40 bags, and though it looks and feels a little cramped when you first walk in, you have plenty of room to do everything required of you in the class.
This class kicked my booty and I was definitely sore the next day!
Dark room, great jams, releasing some pent up anxiety and stress by punching something. Definitely a good time!
There's really everything you could ask for in the locker room and studio - you can buy water bottles, wraps and rent gloves.
Standard for NYC, a class at Shadowbox costs $34 for a single class. Unfortunately, they don't have any deals for first time students. I attended for free in exchange for a review on my blog!
My love of boxing classes continues. Shadowbox is definitely like Rumble in many ways, and doesn't provide any one on one time with the instructor. In fact, you can barely see the instructor during class. While it doesn't have some of the bells and whistles that Rumble has, I liked the fact that the second you finished on the bag, you went straight into another exercise. Despite not having weights for strength training, Shadowbox incorporates moves like lunges, push-ups and burpees that challenge you and keep your heart rate elevated the entire time.
I also liked that Shadowbox threw in some defensive maneuvers as well.
If you're looking for a group fitness boxing class as opposed to actual one on one boxing, I definitely recommend giving Shadowbox a try. It might now be as new and shiny as Rumble, but it's a great workout, a beautiful studio, and there's a shorter line for the shower after class ;)
(And I've found that for one-on-one time with an instructor, regular old NYSC "Non-Contact Boxing" classes are great! WTF also included a LOT of time with the instructor!)

There are many fictions and a lot of misinformation peddled about energy drinks by the media and marketers. People hardly know any facts about energy drinks as the hype and fictitious information has made it impossible to know what they really are. Considering that such drinks are becoming popular, it is very important to separate myths from the truth. According to a 2005 report, it is estimated that these type of drinks raked over three billion dollars in the U.S. in retail sales. With addition of other new brands in the market, this figure will continue growing. Below are true facts about energy drinks that everyone must know.
Energy boost
Although most individuals consume foods to increase energy levels in the body, some people undertaking strenuous activities need more energy than usual. Boost drinks provide the additional energy needed by the body because they contain glucose and complex vitamins. Vitamins are beneficial to the body as they stimulate the production of more energy. When glucose enters the bloodstream, it not only supplies energy to the muscles, the brain and other vital, but also helps in the oxidation processes. The effects of a cup of coffee are felt for one to two hours, while those of an energy drink can last for three to four hours. Caffeine, which is the main ingredient in most of these drinks, indeed enhances energy production.
People are advised to consume such drinks in moderation to get the benefits associated with them. Adhering to the strict dosage of a maximum of two cans per day will immensely benefit the consumer. According to many researches, moderate consumption of caffeine can protect individuals from various diseases, such as Alzheimer due to its antioxidant effects. Most people start their morning with a cup of coffee or tea, which also contains a considerable amount of caffeine. Just like coffee, taking energy drinks in moderation will reduce the harmful effects associated with them.
These type of drinks can contain some good ingredients, such as B vitamins that help in enhancing energy production within the cells. Guarana is another main ingredient contained in energy drinks. This South American herb has been known to successful act as a stimulant, with long lasting effects compared to coffee. It is a main ingredient of green tea, which is lauded for preventing cancer due to the polyphenols contained in it. Taurine is another component of energy drinks, which is a naturally occurring amino acid with various benefits, such as regulating production of energy in the body. Ginseng is also contained in energy drinks and is safely used as an adoptogen, which helps in relieving stress.
These type of drinks are associated with many benefits, such as easing fatigue, improving mental attentiveness and boosting energy levels. They also provide people engaging in strenuous physical activity, such as athletes with the additional energy needed to execute such tasks. People are also provided with the opportunity to choose the most ideal drink that suits their needs as they come in two types. The first ones contain more caffeine and are preferred by workaholics, who need to work for long hours during the night. The second types are those with higher levels of carbohydrates and vitamins that are suitable for people involved in strenuous physical activities.

May 2015: Central Food Markets marketing materials and photographs, 1970s-today
- Donor: Mitch Berliner and Debra Moser
- Description:
Marketing materials and photographs relating to businesses founded by Mitch Berliner, including the D.C.-area chain of farmers markets, Central Farm Markets. Berliner created several businesses that, since 1970, have brought local produce, ice cream, and specialty foods to hungry residents of the D.C. area.
Frequent visitors to downtown Bethesda will surely be familiar with Central Farm Markets (CFM). Since 2008, with a hearty spirit and a special emphasis on the Jewish community, CFM has brought fresh, local food to hungry residents of the D.C. area. CFM has grown to operate in three locations: two in suburban Maryland and one in Northern Virginia. It has become the largest farmers market in the Washington area and one of the largest nationally.
The roots of CFM stretch back to 1970 when Mitch Berliner abandoned a career in computers and opened Berliner's Farm Stand in Montgomery County. The business was among the first selling local and organic food in the Washington area and soon expanded to several locations and distributed some produce to restaurants. In 1977, he helped plan a meatless banquet in the Jimmy Carter White House. Berliner later founded Berliner Foods Corporation to distribute Häagen-Dazs, Dove Bars, Ben & Jerry's, sorbet, and a gourmet items such as frog legs, escargot, and spice mixtures. Following the sale of the company in 2007, Berliner founded Central Farm Markets.
Debra Moser, Mitch's wife operates CFM with Berliner. Moser began her career as a graphic designer and photographer. While working at Woodward & Lothrop, she became interested in food while photographing food items for advertisements. Later, she earned a teaching degree and an MBA, and developed a career helping small businesses to grow.
The Jewish Historical Society of Greater Washington (JHSGW) interviewed Mitch Berliner and Debra Moser about Central Farm Markets and their relationship to the D.C. area's Jewish community.
JHSGW: What was the genesis of Central Farm Markets?
Berliner: Growing up, food and cooking was very important in our family. I went to farmers markets as a kid with my parents. I've always had a passion for farmers markets, and couldn't believe that Bethesda didn't have a comprehensive farmers market. In 2008, I approached Federal Realty, which owned a parking lot at Elm Street and Woodmont Avenue in Bethesda, and thought that would be a great venue for a market. We had 17 vendors when we started that year. Now, we have grown to over 60 farmers and artisan food producers every week at a location around the corner at the Bethesda Elementary School.
Moser: I had always been a good cook and especially a baker. In the early 2000s, I was Executive Director of the Metropolitan Center for the Visual Art in Rockville. I decided to take on an additional fun project of going to get my certification in pastries at L'Academie de Cuisine, where I worked with a former white house pastry chef. I also started baking and selling gourmet pot pies, cakes, biscuits and pies at the farm market. After that work became too much to take on individually, I decided to join Mitch in operating and growing Central Farm Markets. We created a marketing team and social media presence with a community focus: We want you to come. We want you to stay. And we want you to come back.
JHSGW: So is each market about more than stopping by for a few specialty items?
Berliner: This is not just about getting some tomatoes and leaving. The real big mission from day one has been to have a wide enough selection so that people could truly do the vast majority of their weekly shopping — from eggs to poultry to produce to pickles. We have live music almost every week; we have tables and chairs for people to sit and enjoy the music and food, and we're dog-friendly.
Moser: We do some annual activities. In October, we do our "Bake Bethesda a Pie" contest. A couple of years ago, we got so much interest that we created a children's division. We have animal adoption and bloodmobiles, and free blood-pressure tests. We've had Girls Scouts work with us through Manna Food Center, which gleans food from the market farmers every week. We have a grant to buy food from the vendors at the end of each market and donate it to Manna.
Berliner: We also help sponsor a non-profit group that operates the Crossroads Farmers Market in Takoma Park that covers half the price of purchases made by low-income shoppers.
Moser: I oversee the Mosaic Central Farm Market in Fairfax, which opened in 2014. I can't tell you how many people come up and say thank you for bringing this farmers market to the community, "We're so glad you're here." It's really been heartwarming.
Berliner: People are calling our farmers markets the village green. Shopping there has become part of people's weekly routine. It's what they do. They say to us, "Thank you for doing this! This is what we do every Sunday."
JHSGW: How do the farm markets serve the needs of the Jewish community?
Moser: It was very easy for us to start focusing on the Jewish community as a whole. We write blog posts with holiday recipes made from fresh and local products at the farm market: brisket, chicken, challah, kosher "lamb bacon," vegetarian recipes, and honey. It has been a tremendous hit, and we get a lot of requests for kosher food.
Berliner: Several years ago, I went to one of our farmers, and asked if some of the chickens could be slaughtered kosher. They found a shochet (kosher butcher) in the Baltimore area. It was a hit. I'm pretty sure that, at that time, we were among the only farmers markets in the entire country that had kosher offerings.
Moser: People come to us because they know we're part of the Jewish community. We have featured tahini from Soom Foods, a company started in this area. We've hosted events with Jewish cookbook authors and welcomed artisans selling Jewish crafts such as challah covers and other holiday table items.
JHSGW: How do Central Farm Markets compare with other markets in more urban settings?
Berliner: We try to differentiate our markets to fit the needs of each community, which means having the greatest diversity of products as possible to be most inclusive market around.
Moser: One of the big differences between ours and the ones in more dense areas like New York is that, there, people live in smaller spaces and they're not able to stock up as much as our residents do here.
Berliner: The national trend is for year-round markets. Farmers with greenhouses have expanded exponentially. We have one farmer with a carbon-neutral greenhouse who had fresh, local produce year round.
JHSGW: Right now, Central Farm Markets has three locations in the D.C. area. Any plans for more?
Berliner: We are considering creating a market in D.C., and we're looking at places where there's a community that needs a market.
Moser: We get comments and requests to open markets here and there. We'll have business and government entities call. The reality is that we don't want to oversaturate ourselves and our markets. We want to bring the best farm market we can to each community we are in or may consider.
Berliner: The thing is now we can't retire — we have to do this until we're 90.

Counterfeit airbag sales scheme earns Antelope man a year in prison
An Antelope man has been sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison for selling counterfeit airbags.
Vitaliy Fedorchuk, 28, was also fined $5,000 for the the scheme, which involved selling counterfeit airbags via eBay and other internet sales sites, according to a U.S. Attorney's Office news release. He was sentenced Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller.
Between June 23, 2014 and July 27, 2016, Fedorchuk offered to sell airbag modules, covers and manufacturer emblems at his eBay online store, redbarnautoparts, the news release said. He falsely advertised that the counterfeit airbags were original equipment from major automobile manufacturers such as Honda, Fiat, Chrysler, Toyota, GMC and Ford. He sold hundreds of airbags and took in more than $95,000 through the scheme, authorities said.
Fedorchuk was ordered to pay $1,334 in restitution to people who were identified as victims in the case.
The case resulted from an investigation by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.

Ice Hockey as such most probably originated in Canada between 1840 and 1875, where the indigenous people knew ball games already at the time of the colonisation of the Europeans, first of the French and then the British.

EFAA Launches Survey
EFAA Launches Survey on Assurance for SMEs
This survey is being conducted by the European Federation of Accountants and Auditors for SMEs (EFAA) in collaboration with its member organisations to determine the views of European small and medium-sized entities (SMEs) on audit and alternatives to audit. It seeks to establish the benefits that SMEs perceive from having an audit and, where they are not required to have one, the motivations and reasons for choosing one or not choosing one. We anticipate the results, which will eventually be analysed and summarized into a report, will be used to promote and advocate the views of SMEs with respect to the types of services and support they use and need from external accountants. We estimate it will take around 3 minutes to complete. All responses will be treated anonymously.

The Langara Students' Union held elections the first week of October.
Two weeks have gone by and the official election results have not been published for the public. Repeated attempts by The Voice to obtain official results have been ignored.
Information regarding the LSU budget has also come up against an inexplicable wall of silence. Here are some of the LSU election highlights:
- Evelyn Zeng elected as board member at large
- Adrian Fu elected as disabilities liaison
- Adam Giesbrecht elected as queer liaison
- Gunkirat Randhkawa elected as women's liaison
- Emma Munroe elected as environmental issues coordinator
LSU spending up in the air
The LSU Annual General Meeting and passing of the year's budget was held on Sept. 20. Student fees collected by the LSU go towards the U-Pass program as well as the health care and dental plan.
What should be a concern to Langara students is what is happening with the budget surplus of approximately $42,000 for the 2011-2012 school year.
Dean Tsatouhas, a business student at Langara, was at the AGM and spoke to Langara Published, a student-run blog at the college.
"After introductions and a financial recap that nobody could hear, they opened up for questions.
"So I obviously raised my hand right up and asked why there was a $10,000 to $15,000 increase in student honorariums," said Tsatouhas.
Muneori Otaka, a former member of the LSU board of directors and a student at Langara College told Langara Published about his experience.
"I assumed from attending the meetings that the majority of the LSU board members just want the titles, and the power to spend money. Of course, not everyone on the board were like that, and there are a few intelligent students who are genuinely there to serve students." Otaka said.
Previous controversy during elections
Emma Munroe has had her share of issues with the LSU.
Jesse Winter, a former reporter for The Voice, stated in an email "Munroe was disqualified for violating LSU election policy last year."
LSU election policy states that all campaign material must be removed from the school 10-hours before polls open.
Munroe apparently didn't do this and " the LSU refused to tell the candidates what they had done wrong," Winter stated.
LSU Future plans
"I would like to see more transparency, outreach and general student awareness of LSU activities," Zeng said.
"I want to get as much student input as I can, before making any financial decisions," said Fu. Giesbrecht wants to build awareness and knowledge among students, and is experienced in conflict resolution.

Natasha Grey has a Master's degree in Psychology with an expertise in Child and Family Therapy. She is the co-author of the children's book titled Everyday Superheroes and is the host of the Conscious Living Podcast. She focuses her time and energy on wellbeing and wholeness that includes mind, body and spirit.
I spent most of my life doing what the greater culture taught me to do and promised would bring me happiness. I went to University, received a Master's, got a good job with lots of benefits; got married and had a baby. I was well on my way to "living the good life" – I followed all the rules, but yet something was still missing. I felt lost, unfulfilled and yearning for more. The statement of "There has got to be more to life than this" played over and over in my mind. Masking and distracting my truth with food and settling with feelings of deep despair and anxiety created a less than ideal way to live. Something had to change.
My son, my greatest teacher, helped me open my eyes I knew that I had to walk my talk and BE me so he could BE himself. I knew (with all my training and experience) that kids do what we do, not necessarily what we say. I wanted him to see me being all I was created for because I wanted him to live this way too. I had to be the example of what was possible. This was very scary for me because I have always followed rules, always kept quiet even when things didn't feel right or when I disagreed. Somehow I found the courage to challenge this limiting way of living and gradually moved in the direction that felt right (even though it was tremendously difficult at time). I had to demonstrate courage to take the road less traveled so he could too. This is a daily practice that I live by.
We are not meant to do this alone. I believe we are always learning and teaching from each other which is why I created the podcast so we can make these important conversations "everyday conversations". Shining light on love and what's possible.
Today, my professional life and my personal life are not separate. What I do is who I am and who I am is what I do. I can't separate the two because I live everyday with the same beliefs and principles. Living consciously (living your authentic truth) is what will bring a life of joy and happiness. This is what I have come to learn and this is what I have come to teach.
Through my presentations and conversations with other people, I realized that I was not alone. We are all looking to live our unique truth; we all yearn for it. My work is dedicated to making sure you recognize who you are and what you are capable of. Intertwine who you are with what you do and you will live "the good life." My intention for you is that you recognize your truth and cultivate the courage to live it, one day at a time – one moment at a time.
With love,
