I teamed up with my great friend Lindsay Scypta to write our first article for publication in Ceramics Monthly. Lindsay and I love to make aprons (and ceramics of course!) The article serves as step-by-step instructions and also includes a few tips and tricks to make your apron extra fancy or simply efficient! Check out the 2014 November issue of CM for the article.

Visit to Wichita State University
"In an effort to raise awareness of food insecurity in the Wichita area, the WSU Hunger Awareness Initiative, in collaboration with the WSU Ceramics Guild, will center its October 2014 Hunger Awareness Month on the "Empty Bowls Project." An international grassroots movement that enlists potters to create handcrafted bowls, Empty Bowls has raised millions of dollars towards the fight against hunger. Conscious Clay is the start of our conversation, an exhibition examining innovative solutions to hunger awareness through clay, community, and conversation. This exhibition features works by American ceramicists Steven Young Lee and Jennifer Hansen Gard, two ceramic activists who strive to make a difference in their respective communities."
I recently had the honor of being an invited artist to participate in Conscious Clay at Wichita State University. The flights were miserable with several delays and an unexpected night stay in Chicago but the people were incredible. It was a warm welcome from everyone on my first day. I started with my artist talk in the morning and in the afternoon I did a short demo with some building processes and surface techniques. I walked off the plane and went directly to my artist talk asking for only one thing- that I could brush my teeth! I made a quick stop in the restroom and even had time to change my cloths before getting started. The following day my good friend Gunyoung Kim, who is the current artist in residence at Lawrence Arts Center, came to visit and we got to relax and watch Steven Lee's workshop! In the evening we attended the opening reception of Conscious Clay at the Ulrich Museum of Art which Steven and I both had work in(my first museum show, yippe)! Followed by a panel discussion that we were apart of for World Food Day. Where we discussed innovative solutions to hunger awareness from our own perspectives, projects, and stories. The Empty Bowls event took place on Saturday morning and Gunyoung and I each purchased a few bowls that I managed to carefully pack up and bring safely back to Ohio. I want to give a special thanks to faculty Brenda Lichman, Ted Adler, and the graduate students who went above and beyond. It was refreshing to be in an environment where people were invested in the same issues and questions I am asking. Wichita is a special place and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a GREAT graduate program. They have a positive and supportive community with dedicated faculty!

Jeni's upcoming show MFA & ROY G BIV
Graduate school has gone faster and slower then I expected. Slower during the hard times... and faster as I jump from one project to the other hardly stopping to slow down. My path as an artist has been craved out in a way I never imagined. I entered graduate school thinking I was going to make art about movement and its relationship to the human body. After a year of exploration I was feeling lost, confused, and most importantly I was not fulfilled. At the end of the year I did a project called The Dinner Party, where I invited a group over to my home to share a meal. I served a plated meal to the guests and as they ate they uncovered phrases that enacted movement. At the end of the night when I was left with a pile of dishes I starting thinking about what was important about the project. When I answered food my work took a shift in direction and I began to explore the human relationship to the food we consume. Considering human choice in relation to the ceramic vessel.
I am looking forward to my MFA thesis exhibition that will take place at Urban Arts Space from February 14 - March 22, 2015 with the opening reception February 21st from 5-7.
I am also excited to announce my upcoming exhibition at ROY G BIV Gallery in Columbus, Ohio in April! The Exhibition runs from April 4–25, 2015 with the opening reception Saturday, April 4 th 2015 @ 7:00 PM and an artists' talk on Saturday, April 25, at 2:30 pm

Day 16, 17, 18, & 19 Welcome to Texas!
Tumbling through Texas..
The following day we were on the road again headed back to Baton Rouge. We made an afternoon stop in Houston to visit my college friend Alisha and her new baby Brycen. We had a wonderful time holding the baby and we are both cured from our 'baby fever' after observing the amount of work that goes into baby land. We are so happy for Alisha and Bobby on the little addition to the family he is perfect!
Getting tired behind the wheel we decided to stop and sleep. We found it impossible to sleep in the car because it was hot and with the windows down the bugs were vicious. We found a camp site outside Wichita Falls and woke up surrounded by prairie dogs and a rattle snake, crazy!
We made it to Dallas the following morning to visit with Monica and Michael. Monica and I are good friends, we met as classmates at the University of Florida. I have not seen her in two years so you can only imagine my excitement in visiting with her! We spent the morning catching up and getting to know Caffrey the new cat who I now love! We spent our afternoon at a half priced books sale stocking up on books we didn't need, but of course really wanted. We made our classic quinoa salad at home in the evening. The following day we had lunch at Southpaw's Organic Cafe followed by a trip to tu-lu's gluten free bakery, yum!
In the evening we made it into Austin to visit with Katrina one of my long time high school friends she brought us to Elizabeth Street Cafe for an incredible dinner and dinning experience followed by wine and a great view of the skyeline at Uncorked.
The following day we stayed busy eating our way through Austin. Forrest and Katrina started with Gourdough's one of the popular food trucks. We quickly moved on to Torchies Tacos a Austin staple food. She brought us to Mozart's Coffee Roaster for a view of the lake and off we went to Hope Outdoor Gallery and graffiti park. We climbed up and down inspecting the park from all different directions. The quick stop is a must do. We visited an assortment of shops including the very first Whole Foods Market which was by far the largest we have been to. My friend Hope met us for dinner and since we couldn't miss having barbaque in Texas we drove out into the country for some of the good stuff at Salt Lick!Amy's Ice Cream where Forrest got to play a game. We mentioned it was our first time and the gentlemen offered to throw ice cream across the street and if Forrest could catch it he could have it for free. Across two lanes of traffic he finally caught it on the third try but at that point the ice cream was no longer edible. We went back in and ordered a small Mexican Vanilla to share.
The following day we were on the road again headed back to Baton Rouge. We made an afternoon stop in Houston to visit my college friend Alisha and her new baby Brycen. We had a wonderful time holding the baby and we are both cured from our 'baby fever' after observing the amount of work that goes into baby land.

Day 15 Food: Our Global Kitchen
There was an interactive table similar to a large touch screen tablet that allowed viewers to make different recipes. I made pouched eggs with hollandaise sauce and made tamales, I wish I could have eaten them!
There was a food kitchen as part of the exhibiton and we had a taste testing experiment. TRY IT AT HOME: Plug your nose and eat half of a jelly bean; be aware of what you are tasting then release your nose and evaluate how your perception of taste changes with the addition of your sense of smell.
I particularly enjoyed a collection of cookbooks from all over the world. As well as a wall filled with different utensils for food preparation and consumption- some I could not even imagine what they were used for! We picked up a book on the way out, Consider the Fork A History of HOW WE COOK and EAT, by Bee Wilson. The book addresses the tools we use and have used to eat and how they transformed what we consume and how we think about food. We are both looking forward to a good read!
I believe the exhibiton is traveling and if it makes it to your area; I highly recommend it!
Day 14: road trip tips and tricks
Yesterday evening we slept in the car because it was raining and we knew it wasn't going to let up. We woke up and went to Amazing Grace for breakfast in Breckenridge, where we spent most of the morning relaxing and blogging. After breakfast, we headed to Rocky Mountain National Park but unfortunately cloud cover came in and it rained most of the day. We drove right through the park up to the tundra and back down again. At one point the fog was so thick we couldn't see so we pulled off to wait it out a bit. After that scary adventure we headed down to Boulder for a trip to the apothecary since Forrest had a little congestion and my right tonsil was swollen. I have a history of tonsillitis so I wanted to make sure and prevent anything from getting worse. We had dinner at Julia's Kitchen and it was honestly some of the best food we have had on our trip: 100% organic, gluten free, corn free, and vegan (a dream come true for me!). We stopped into the Tea House where Elisa works for a last good bye and back to Umar and Ashley's for some sleep before leavin Colorado.
Through our trip we have compiled a few road trip tips and tricks:
1. If you plan to go to a few national parks just buy the year pass up front it's not worth the entrance fee at each park and it will pay itself back rather quickly.
2. Don't be afraid to sleep in your car. It might sound a little uncomfortable but with a little rearranging you can make it work and it's free! Make sure everything can fit in the trunk so you have as much room as possible. Make sure you crack a few windows this will reduce condensation and it will be a little less obvious you are sleeping in the car. But where to park? We usually stick with hotel parking lots and pull in after dark. Find a back corner with the least amount of light. Be smart and be safe.
3. Pack your food. Get a cooler and stock up at the grocery store. Use ziplock bags for ice- it's free from the fountain pop machine at most gas stations. For breakfast we ate oatmeal, yogurt and oats, granola, anything easy. For lunch/dinner cheese sandwiches got us through the trip. If we needed to spice it up we added some chips for a nice crunch. We tried to eat out only one meal a day and we usually spent time making sure it was going to be good food, from the region, and reasonably priced. We have yet to be disappointed!
4. Don't give in to fast food it's not worth it. We accidentally... Ate some on the way from Columbus from Baton Rouge and instantly regretted it- we felt sick and sluggish imediatatly.
5. Never buy water: bring your water bottle and refil frequently. Bring a loose leaf tea tumbler. They are multifunctional you can get hot water for tea for free from gas stations and surprisingly most restaurants were happy to provide as well. You can use it as an extra water bottle I needed and it saves you a few dollars each day!
6. Have you heard of Couchsurfing? It's a real thing and it's awesome! You set up a profile online and you can host surfers and request to surf with others. We met some really great people and stayed for free for three days outside Santa Fe. Knowing locals in the area really made a difference in the restaurants we chose and what activities we did.
7. You probably have friends all over the country so contact them if you are heading in their direction. We had so many generous people open their homes to us.
8. Lighten the load. Depending how long you are going to be gone pack a reasonable amount of cloths. We are on the road for about three weeks and we brought one week's worth of clothes and did laundry when needed.
9. Always arrive at your camp site before dark. For your own safety it is smart to scout out the area before night fall plus it's much easier to set up camp with day light. Read all the posted signage sometimes you're in bear country and it's always good to know.
10. The best plan is no plan. We enjoyed the days that patched themselves together much more then the days we planned. Just go with the flow and start driving.
*Don't forget what's important just because you are traveling doesn't give you an excuse. We have made a point to recycle everything we can and that means carting around glass bottles and cardboard boxes until we found a Whole Foods.

13th day in the road: Carbondale Clay Center, SAW, And Anderson Ranch
Black Canyon at Gunnison River (a National Park in Colorado). We quickly packed up our tent and went on a short hike to further explore one of earth's most amazing places (that I've seen at least). We then took a scenic drive through the mountains towards Carbondale Colorado.
We then arrived at Cardondale Clay Center for a tour and visit with two of their residents: Matthew Eames and Mike Stumbras. We first met Matthew (who holds the MFA Studio Tech and residency position) and talked with him for quite a while about the clay center and their residency program. While we were there we got to see resident artist Kendra Spark's exhibition. Next we talked with Mike Stumbras, who recently accepted at LSU for graduate school. After Carbondale Clay Center we visited SAW Carbondale (Studio for Arts and Works). At SAW we visited with artist Jessi Maddocks who gave us a nice tour of the space. SAW offers studio spaces to over 20 artists who are working in just about every medium. We mostly visited the ceramic studios and were lucky because the entire studio preparing for an open studio and reception. This meant everyone had their work out and we were able to admire a variety of ceramic art. SAW seems like an amazing opportunity for artists to continue working in a close community environment.
After SAW we drove up the road to Anderson Ranch Arts Center. Anderson Ranch was incredible! Tucked into the Rocky Mountains in Snowmass, Colorado (near Aspen) this arts center offers summer workshops in almost every medium. Everyone was working hard to prepare for the first week if workshops that start on Monday! We met Doug Casebeer (the artistic director), Ralph Scala (the ceramics studio coordinator), and all the summer staff. We visited the ceramic studios and kilns. Ralph takes pride in the kilns (and he should!) as he showed us his newest baby, a small anagama wood kiln. Ralph even showed us where a shower was so we were able to freshen up after a few days in the woods.Feeling like a million bucks we drove the Independence Pass and crossed over the Continental Divide. Next we're heading back to Denver for an interactive food exhibition and after that we'll head South to Dallas, Texas. Thats it for now!

Still road tripping: Days 11 and 12! Taos Clay & Mesa Verde National Park
Tuesday morning we said good bye to our wonderful couch surfing host, Tyler. Before leaving New Mexico, we finally got the chance to go on a short hike at Camp Glorieta. It was a bit muddy but that didn't hurt the beauty. On our way back north to Colorado we stopped for lunch in Taos at the Farmhouse Bakery and Cafe. Farmhouse is a farm to table restaurant with an on site-garden. Our table was facing the same mountains that we just can't get enough of. I ate an elk burger with purple potatoes. Jeni enjoyed a delicious gluten free veggie lasagne and a salad.

After lunch we visited Taos Clay. We had a wonderful visit and tour with Brandi Jessup, the executive director. Brandi was young, ambitious and full of energy. I can't wait to see how Taos Clay strengthens in the next couple of years. They had a gallery that supported community members as well as a contemporary exhibition filled with some familiar and some unfamiliar atmospheric potters. If we had more money I would have purchased a Perry Haas tumbler, perhaps at NCECA. Taos Clay offers a long term artist-in-residence program and they have plans for a short term residency position in the future.
After Taos we drove into the San Juan National Forest and camped a few miles from the entrance to Mesa Verde National Park. We have been very fortunate and this was the first time in our trip we paid for lodging. The camp ground was affordable and absolutely worth it!
Early this morning we packed up camp and drove into Mesa Verde National Park. Mesa Verde has over 4,500 archeological sites including over 600 cliff dwilings from built by the Ancestrial Pueblos. The only way to actually visit some of the main cliff dwilings was to pay for a tour. At $4.00 a tour we said yes! The trip into the cliff dwilings was unbelievable and one of my favorite exploration so far on our trip. The Ancestrial Pueblos were farmers and they grew their crops (mostly corn, beans, and squash) on top of the mesa and lived down below.
Stay posted for our next post: we will be visiting Carbondale Clay Center an Anderson Ranch. Bye for now.

Day 9 & 10: Albuquerque & Santa Fe, NM
Early on Sunday (Day 9 of our trip) we went to church in Santa Fe at a beautiful historic church, The Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, that had a very traditional service (hard for me to follow!) and half the service was in Spanish (extra hard for me to follow). Most of the galleries we wanted to visit in Santa Fe were closed on Sundays so we decided to head to Albuquerque to relive some of my childhood memories.
Loretto Chapel & The Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, downtown Santa Fe, NM
My dad lived in Albuquerque from 1990 to 2000 and I spent my summers there as well as 2nd grade. It was weird having memories in a city that I have not been too in almost 15 years. The last time I was Albuquerque I was not even a teenager and was still two years away from falling in love with clay (and later becoming a ceramic artist).
My memories of Albuquerque are faint and the things I remember are sort of random. My dad helped me turn my faint memories in to actual places that we were able to visit and I was able to see them as an adult. First we went to Frontier Restaurant because I remember going there with my dad to buy tortillas. Sure enough when we walked in the had an entire corner dedicated to making fresh tortillas and we bought 2 dozen. We chowed down on a few fresh tortillas as soon as we walked out the door. The tortillas were so fresh they were still warm (delicious)!!
The Frontier Restaurant was across the street from the University of New Mexico so next we walked around campus. We found the art building but it was locked. We did however see they had a very nice soda kiln from the outside of the building. After UNM we went to a local coop grocery store. My memories from the coop were walking through a really long tunnel to get to the store and getting to select a Blue Sky soda. The tunnel was more of a very short covered walk way (not the giant tunnel I remembered). We stocked up on lots of healthy road trip food and I did get a Blue Sky root beer! Following the coop we drove past the UNM hospital to view the helicopter on the roof. My dad used to drive me past the hospital just so I could see the helicopter and I would throw a fit if it wasn't there; during our visit the helicopter was not there :( but I did not throw a fit. Afterwards we drove past my dad's old house and cruised the old neighborhood. Due to the rain and my feeling uncomfortable that people were home I was unable to photograph the backyard, which was the heart and soul of the house where my dad grew tasty vegetables and I would play often. After Albuquerque we drove back to our host's house at camp Glorieta.
Today (Monday, day 10) we explored Santa Fe. We started the morning at Santa Fe Clay. We were very impressed with Santa Fe Clay. It was large, organized, and fully equipped. Santa Fe Clay has a lot to offer; clay and tool supply store, gallery, and community studios. The current exhibition that was in their gallery was The ABC's of Dinnerware. I especially enjoyed the show because last semester at LSU our visiting artist, Mark Cole, talked about his involved in the show and we focusd the workshop around the letter L. In Mark Cole style we made a lobster tray during the workshop and a fully finished and improved lobster tray was featured at Santa Fe Clay.
After Santa Fe Clay we ate a delicious brunch at Tune-up Cafe. I ordered (in New Mexico fashion) huevos racheros with local organic eggs topped with green and red chili. After lunch we walked around the Plaza and explored a few galleries that featured Pueblo Pottery. It was fascinating to see pottery from different Pueblos and the differences in style (form, color, drawings, and firing techniques).
We of course visited the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. I was familiar with her paintings and enjoyed viewing them. To my surprise I was more interested in Georgia's lifestyle. She was very health conscious and into organic gardening. Her goal was to grow all her own vegetables and to can and preserve food for the winter months. Its no wonder that she lived to be 99 years old!
After the Museum we drove around Santa Fe and enjoyed the sights. Thats all for now, see you on the next post!

Day 7 & 8: The Flatirons Hike near Boulder, The Denver Rescue Mission,Garden of the Gods, Great Sand Dunes National Park, and New Mexico
Day 7 We took a little time off to visit with friends and hit the hills for a good hike. We met up with Elisa, Forrest's friend from way back all the way to elementary school. We went to the Flatirons just outside Boulder for an early afternoon hike. We finished the day with a fantastic dinner at Zeal and a trip to Rebecca's Apothocary (it had herbal everything- an amazing store- stop in if you ever have the chance) located downtown Boulder and of course some yoga.
Day 8 brought us bright and early to the Denver Rescue Mission at 5:00 AM for our volunteer shift. We arrived so early the streets were filled with a deep darkness. People lined the streets on the blocks surrounding the mission. When we finally found parking we were a little apprehensive to leave the car as we had never been to the mission or even seen it in the day light. I am so glad we were brave enought to step outside and search for the entrance. We worked the breakfast shift so we prepped all the cold food items with a group of volunteers and a kind gentleman Benjamin who is in the missions program. I prepared the cream cheese cutting the larger blocks into smaller pieces, others prepared apple sauce, doughnuts, water and coffee. There were supposed to have bagels hence why I cut the cream cheese but I guess there were bugs on them and since everything is based on donations they had to use doughnuts instead. That means a lot of cream cheese was wasted. Around 6:00 breakfast was served and we all found a spot behind the line I served the French toast with diluted maple syrup and Forrest past the trays out. There was a continual line for the next hour men and women but mostly men. The mission organization has outreach beyond the Lawrence street building they have two other locations outside town one is actually a farm. Leaving I couldn't help but think about the trash can filled with glass and aluminum cans from all the individual applesauces that got poured into the large pan. I wanted to take it with me and find the nearest recycling but Forrest talked me out of it...

Day 6: Boulder, CO
Today was for Jeni's personal research- early in the morning we woke up and went to Cure Organic Farm. On Thursday's the farm allows volunteers to come in and work from nine to noon. We learned how to cut and plant potatoes, stake up tomato plants, and we weeded a raised bed of rhubarb. We got to see all the workings of the farm from the inside out. We had visited them at the farmers market the evening before and now we had the experience of working on the farm.
We learned how to plant potatoes from start to finish! First you cut them into pieces making sure each section has an eye growing. Then we brought them out into the field for planting. Working in teams one person drops the potato another gently pushes it in the ground. Later farm equipment will fully cover them.
After volunteering on the farm. We drove into Boulder and ate lunch at the largest Whole Foods we have ever been too. Following lunch we went to the University of Colorado to visit the CU Art Museum and to see their ceramics department. Unfortunately, every room was locked up tight and the we were only able to see the kiln room.
We did happen to see a print show in the art building and I recognized a lot the MFA printmakers from LSU and realized that this was the traveling exhibition that was conceived and curated by my fellow LSU graduate students. This was one of my favorite prints by Eric Euler.
I'm just a little jealous this is the view from outside CU's art building.
Jeni having some fun with a handstand.Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art. The museum did have a few pieces that claimed to be interactive. This piece allowed visitors to watch a series of statistics or to press a button at the bottom to scroll through the list of topics.
Some of our favorite pieces from the museum.
Before going home we stopped by the Boulder Potter's Guild. Luckily for this visit two members were in the studio and more than willing to give us a tour. It was a nice community studio in a big open building. The facilitities were nice and fully equipped. My favorite aspect to the Potter's Guild was their expansive ceramic library with books and magazines on all subjects and area related to ceramics.

No one should have to live amid gunshots being fired at their home, especially a woman who can't hear the danger that poses. That's exactly what a woman on Charleston's west side is living with. She's deaf, and her home has become the target of gun violence.
It happened again early Thursday morning, and that's the second round of gunshots in just a couple of weeks. This time, ten bullets hit the house. No ones been hurt but the family says they don't know how much more they can take.
Nancy Hunter is the matriarch of the family. She's been forced to move in with relatives and she just wants to go back home.

How to Fold a Napkin Into a Rose
Edited by Flickety, Zareen, Krystle, DifuWu and 7 others
This rose makes a lovely gesture for a date, a dinner party guest (as a table decoration), a young child, most anyone, really! Just grab a paper napkin (or tissue, or paper towel) and follow these steps.
Fold a Napkin Into a Rose Step 1 Version 2.jpg1Unfold the napkin completely. Then, fold the top down about two inches (5 cm).Ad
Fold a Napkin Into a Rose Step 2 Version 2.jpg2Hold the upper left corner between your fingers.
Fold a Napkin Into a Rose Step 3 Version 2.jpg3Begin to wrap the napkin around your fingers. Start out by going behind your fingers. Continue wrapping the napkin rather tightly around your fingers. Stop wrapping when there are about two inches (5cm) left.
Fold a Napkin Into a Rose Step 4 Version 2.jpg4Fold the flap in the upper right corner diagonally to the top edge.
Fold a Napkin Into a Rose Step 5 Version 2.jpg5Wrap the corner around your fingers, and hold under your thumb.
Fold a Napkin Into a Rose Step 6 Version 2.jpg6With your other hand, start tightly twisting the base of the rose. Once the base is secure, pull your fingers out gently. Keep twisting until you get about halfway down the stem.
Fold a Napkin Into a Rose Step 7 Version 2.jpg7At that point, find a corner of the napkin and pull it gently so it sticks out. Continue twisting until the rose is finished!

- Make several of these paper roses and tie them together (or put them in a cup) to create a bouquet.

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- The New and Improved Form ADV Whether an RIA is describing its investment strategy in advertisements or in the new Form ADV Part 2, it is important the firm articulates material risks faced by advisory clients and avoids language that might be construed as a guarantee.
- Client Communication and Miscommunication RIA policies and procedures must specify what type of communications should be retained. The safest course of action is for RIAs to retain all communicationsto clients, from clients, and about client accounts. To comply with fiduciary obligations, communications must be thorough and not mislead.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) announced Thursday that it had ordered Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (RJA) and Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. (RJFS) to pay restitution of $1.69 million to more than 15,500 investors who were charged unfair and unreasonable commissions on securities transactions. FINRA also fined RJA $225,000 and RJFS $200,000.
FINRA found that from Jan. 1, 2006, to Oct. 31, 2010, RJA and RJFS used automated commission schedules for equity transactions that charged more than 15,500 customers nearly $1.69 million in excessive commissions on over 27,000 transactions involving, in most instances, low-priced securities.
RJA and RJFS neither admitted nor denied the charges, but consented to the entry of FINRA's findings.
According to FINRA, the firms' supervisory systems were "inadequate because the firms established inflated schedules and rates without proper consideration of the factors necessary to determine the fairness of the commissions, including the type of security and the size of the transaction."
Steve Hollister, public relations manager for Raymond James, told AdvisorOne in an email message that Raymond James was "pleased to have resolved this matter with FINRA." The commissions that would be refunded under the agreement with FINRA, he said, "involved primarily low-priced securities that were determined by an automated commission schedule, which we revised on July 1, 2011, upon notification of FINRA's findings. The affected trades represent less than 0.1% of the total equity trades executed by Raymond James during the period reviewed by FINRA. The average impact per affected account over the five-year time period is approximately $110."
Brad Bennett, FINRA Executive VP and Chief of Enforcement, said in a statement the same day that, "Raymond James failed to adequately monitor its supervisory systems and as a result, both Raymond James & Associates and Raymond James Financial Services overcharged thousands of customers on their securities transactions." Broker-dealers, he said, "must ensure that their automated systems set commission charges that are fair to investors."
FINRA said it required the firms to revise their automated commission schedules to conform to the requirements of the Fair Prices and Commissions Rule. In addition to requiring RJA and RJFS to repay approximately $1.69 million in overcharges, FINRA said each firm is required to calculate and repay additional overcharges from Nov. 1, 2010, through the date that each firm revised its schedule.

Hmm...I love to write stories. Have been doing it all my life, even though only a few have ever been published (online.) But lately, I seem to have a problem. It's not the writing itself; it's deciding WHAT to write about. And even when I pick something, I can't seem to stay focused for very long. It might be for a variety of reasons, from the lack of stuff I used to enjoy (bookstores closing, comics suck, etc.) to possible ADD symptoms. Whatever the cause, I KNOW I can still write, because I can still participate in RPGs right here in the TV Trope forums OK. So I thought, "Hey! Why don't I try something like that, but on the Writer's Forum?" So here's what I want to do: I invite ANYONE to post something they'd like me to write about in this thread. It can be anything (though I decide what to use.) Then I combine all those choices and post them in the form of (part of a) story. Then I take the next few suggestions and add them to the story, and so on and so on for as long as it will go. Think of it as a combination suggestion thread/ forum game. Hopefully this will be fun and useful to all of us. Ready? Go! :)

Hmm...Hmm. OK, let's see what I can do with what we have so far... THE STORY, PART I -A sea, sometime, somewhere- "Ship ahoooy!" a pirate shouted from his ship's crow's nest. From inside the ship ran out the captain, decked in the full classic pirate regalia: the high boots, the floppy shirt and pants, the tricorn hat, and the sable at the waist. The only unusual thing was that this pirate was a young female! She took one look at the other ship nearby, smiled gleefully and shouted: "Avast, ye scurvy dogs! This be time for pillaging! Prepare the canon!!" "Aye-aye, captain!" her crew responded, and hurried to obey. They brought out an unusually large cannon, but, rather than point it at the other ship right away, they placed it near a staircase, which the captain ran up on and then quickly got inside the cannon's barrel! It was *then* that the pirates aimed the cannon at the other sailship. Then, they lit the fuse and, seconds later, with a thundering BOOOM!! the young woman was fired like a living projectile, screaming yaaahooo! at the top of her lungs! She struck the other ship's sail, and, in classic swashbuckler style, used it to lower herself to the deck. Without even bothering to land first, she started screaming: "Avast, ye salty dogs! Yer having the privilege of being robbed by the Queen of the Seven Seas! Prepare to be boarded by-" (lands on her feet ) -"CAPTAIN BULLET!!" she finished, beaming with pride! ...Only to fall in silent shock at the sight of the HUGE DRAGON that was laying on the deck, lazily eying her! .*Gasp!* she gasped, "Tis' a literal sea dragon!!" "Don't be afraid, I won't kill you" the colossal reptile said. "By my beard!!" the clean-faced girl said, even more astonished. "It talks!" "Yes, 'it' talks" the dragon said, annoyed. " 'It' also has a name. I'm Benedict." "What in the name of Neptune be ye doing aboard a ship?" "I'm on my way to a far away land, to rescue my friend, the Knight Sir Alphonse, from a fate worse than death: marriage to the wicked Princess Stephanie."

Hmm...PART TWO "That sounds like a... interesting story" Captain Bullet said to Benedict. "But I really... must go now" and she turned around, intending on diving off the ship. "Wait!" the dragon said. "You look like a clever, daring person... just the kind I might need on this quest. It's kind of tricky getting around human lands when you're, well, a dragon." "What!? Ye want ME to help you? Why would I do that?" "...For treasure?" The dragon answered, with a wink. Bullet stopped to consider. It was true that dragons often had quite some treasure hoards. It might be worth hanging around this one to obtain it... "Let's say, fer a minute, that I agree to help ye. What'd it entail?" "Well, for starters, the wedding is taking place in the Skyward Brothers' Flying Circus, a carnival that actually travels *above the clouds*. Even after we arrive at Stephanie's kingdom, getting all the way up there is going to be tricky." "Why don't ye just fly- oh, I see" Bullet said, only now noticing that Benedict had no wings. "Hmm... this gonna be a challenge, indeed... but I think I may know somebody who can help, and as the fates have it, he lives in these waters." "Really? Who?" "Professor Cornudo, a talented- if quirky- inventor" the pirate girl explained. "He be the one who made me special cannon, in fact." "Well then, let's sail there right away!" "Not so fast! First, lemme see that booty ye spoke about." Benedict snorted, but then nodded to one of the sailors on the ship, who hurried below deck, then came back out and brought Bullet a diamond the size of golf ball. "Oooh" she said, enticed by the gem. "Ye got yerself a deal, lad- I mean Drake! Just follow my ship, OK?" And with that, she dove over the side of the ship. - ******** A while later, the ships arrive at what looked like a small, deserted island, and Benedict and Bullet met on the beach. "Follow me!" the energetic pirate girl says. The dragon does so. After a while, they arrive at a hut. "Halt! Who goes there?" a masculine voice suddenly said. "Tis' I , Captain Bullet." A young man came into view "Oh, nice to see y- EGADS!" he gasped, upon seeing the dragon. "Easy there, matey, the beastie's harmless." "Indeed, the 'beastie' is" Benedict snorted. "Pleasure to meet you, Professor. I-" "Nay, nay, he be not Cornudo, he be Cornudo's boyfriend, Pedro." "His... boyfriend?" "Aye, they have unusual customs' round these parts, you notice" she said with a wink. "Why are you people here?" Pedro asked. .*a short explanation later* "I see. Okay, let me call the Professor" Pedro said, and went into the hut and said, "Dear, some people are here to see you." A wrinkly old man came out. "Oh, hi, Bullet, how's the cannon doing? And what's with the overgrown lizard?" .*Again the short, boring explanation* "Aha! You're right on time! I have just the thing to help in your quest! Follow me!!" He passed by another young man "Watch the hut while I'm gone" the Professor said to him. Then he ran into a nearby jungle. "That's Luis, Pedro's boyfriend" Bullet explained to Benedict. "His...? But didn't you just say-?" She just gave him a naughty smile and shrugged. Benedict, Bullet and Pedro then followed the Professor into the jungle. Eventually they came upon a clearing... where a bizarre machine, made up of all sort of spare parts, laid. "Behold, the world's first flying machine: the ornithopter!!" Benedict and Bullet looked at it a little dubiously. "What, you don't believe me? Why don't you take it for a spin?" "Can it support my weight?" Benedict asked. "Only one way to find out!" Cornudo said, a little too eagerly. "Alright, alright" the dragon said. "But how do I even get on it?" "You don't, you're cargo. You go below, tied up" the old man explained. "I sit on top. Bullet, you ride by my side." After everyone positioned themselves, Cornudo turned on the contraption, and it began to shake and sputter, as if it were going to explode. But instead, it extruded a pair of massive bat-like wings, started flapping them, and took off like a bird! "YEEEHAH! It works!!" the pirate girl screamed in joy. On the ground, Luis was now standing by Pedro. They high-fived each other in victory. "Alright, Professor. Lend us the ornithopter and you'll get a share of the reward." "Nice! I can use to for more inventions!" Bullet had the P.rofessor land the machine on the deck of her ship. "So, what do you think of me plan, O Benedicted one?" "...So far, so good." "High-Five!!" she screamed, and held up her hand. The dragon looked hesitantly at her. Was she serious? "Tis' to seal the deal, ya ignorant wyrm!" The dragon raised its front right paw, and slapped Bullet's hand with it- -which caused her to be sent flying backwards, landing in a barrel full of pickles! "Oops! Sorry!"the dragon gasped. Bullet's reaction was- a hearty laugh!

Hmm...PART THREE Somewhere, a man in his 40s man sat in front of a computer. His brow was furrowed; he was trying to type something, but the ideas would not come. Frustrated, he fell asleep on the desk. As he began to dream, he remained oddly aware that he was, in fact, dreaming. All around him, he could only see darkness. I wish I could see better, he thought. Suddenly, lit torches appeared around him, illuminating the place. Hey, neat! Can I control the dream? What do they call that- lucid dreaming? He saw that he was inside a cave. He wondered why, and he seemed to recall an allegory invented by Plato, or Socrates or some other ancient philosopher, something about how if a man were raised inside a cave where he could see only shadows, he would mistake the shadows for the real things. Or something like that, philosophy wasn't his strong suit. He looked at the shadows in the wall. They began taking specific forms. One was a pirate girl, who shot herself out of a canon. Another was a dragon, rescuing a knight from a princess. Another was a kooky scientist inventing a strange flying machine. There were several more. Suddenly, he awoke, and he was back at his desk. He smiled, as he had realized that his creativity was still intact; he just needed a little prodding to write again. He started typing... In another reality, Captain Bullet awoke in her bed, having had *the exact same dream*. It was meaningless to her, however, and all it did was make her wonder what it could mean, before shrugging; dreams are not supposed to mean anything after all.
The next day: "Laaand ahoy!" shouted the pirate on the crow's nest. Bullet came up out of her ship, to find Benedict and Cornudo already waiting for her. "We must be careful" the dragon said. "We are in Stephanie's lands now. If we are spotted, her armies will take us down." "So, what is the plan?" Cornudo asked. "Easy enough" Bullet said, in her usual optimism. "We'll fly up there to the Flying Circus in the machine, present ourselves as a roving act looking fer a place to show our talents. Surely, they'll take us in! Then when they be performing during the royal wedding, we'll rescue Sir Alphonse!" "...That actually sounds like it would work" the dragon admitted. "Of course it will!" Bullet retorted. "Now, get yer butts into the Ornithopter, so we can go put me plan into action already!" Moments later, all three of them were airborne. As they climbed up into the air, they passed right through the clouds. Coming out of a particularly thick one, they spotted something ahead- something that looked like- a flying plant? "What in tarnation be that??" Bullet exclaimed. "Oh my! Cornudo said, "I suspect it may a rare flying specimen of Anthropophagus Mandragora!" "Say what?" "...A man-eating plant." Suddenly, the flying mass of leaves and vines sprouted long tendrils and opened a huge mouth, lunging towards out heroes! "Egads! Evade it!!" Bullet screamed. "I'm trying! This thing wasn't made for complex maneuvering, you know!" Cornudo responded. The flying plant managed to grab onto the ornithopter, but Benedict severed the tendrils with his fiery breath. However, the mass was too big and too green to catch fire. Suddenly, Cornudo took the flying machine into a dive. "What be ye doing??" Bullet angrily asked. "Mandragoras are territorial" Cornudo explained. "It should stop following us if we get out of its airspace." And indeed, once they had flown back down below the cloud level, the plant stopped and flew back to where it had been. "Curses!" Benedict roared. "How are we supposed to get past that?" "I'll be fish bait 'efore I let some overgrown potted plant stop me from obtaining me booty! Let's go back to me ship- I got just the right thing fer it!" -a short while later- Once again, the ornithopter flew above the clouds. And once again, the flying plant monster lunged at it. This time, however, the machine flew right above it, apparently leaving itself exposed to attack! The green thing reached at it with its tendrils, but before it could entangle it again, Bullet's voice could be heard screaming, "NOW!!" -and several round, metallic objects started falling from the machine, released by Benedict. The Mandragora just swallowed them as if they were just another bird flock, but before its jaws closed, a last one- this one with a lit fuse- also got in. "NOW PROFESSOR! DIVE!!" Bullet shouted. The ornithopter dove below the clouds again- and just in time, as a series of explosions tore the vegetable monster apart! BOBOBOBOOOOM!!! Below the clouds, the machine's crew smiled as they saw its smoking fragments rain down around them. As soon as the 'rain' stopped, they began to climb again, back up above the clouds...

Hmm...PART FOUR The Land Of Ice: Sir Alphonse wondered why the land was called that way, when it was so green. Well, a bit chilly right now, but it might just be the season. He could see a wide swath of it from the balcony of Princess Stephanie's castle. The princess herself entered a moment later. "Not thinking of trying to escape, are you?" she said wickedly. "I know perfectly well that I would not survive fighting your troops" he responded bitterly. "You are mine now, Alphonse. The sooner you accept it, the better." "I'll never be yours" he said calmly. "Even if you force me to marry you, you'll own my body, but not my heart." The princess became angry. "I DON'T CARE! You'll be MINE, and that's all that matters to me!!" She then pointed at a clock in the wall. "See that? Our wedding is only 12 hours away. 12 hours! Prepare yourself, you hapless knight. In 12 hours, you and I will be bound, forever!!" and then she stormed out of the room, leaving the handsome knight glancing sadly at the grandfather clock...
Meanwhile, way above the clouds, the crew of the ornithopter finally spotted a large circular platform, moored to the top of a mountain; above it, several tents could be seen. "That be the Flying Circus, I'll bet!" Bullet said. "How does it stay up in the air like that?" Benedict asked. "Magic, most likely" Cornudo snorted. "How unscientific." Cornudo piloted his flying machine to land right on an open area at the center of the circus. The staff scurried around in fear at the sight of the odd, noisy machine, especially when they noticed it had a dragon dangling under it. But after it landed, they came back, more curious than scared. "Well, I'll be. What the heck is that thing??" one of two identical obese, bearded men said. "And who are you people?" the other one asked. "The world's first true flying machine" Cornudo explained. "And we are, uh..." "Magnolia the Magnificent's Traveling Performing Crew!" Bullet said, all cheers. "I be Magnolia, in case ye can't tell!" (wink)"We heard 'bout this circus of yers and decided to give ye the privilege of adding our acts to yers! For a good pay, o'course!" "Well, well, spunky, isn't she?" the first man said. "I'm Frank, and this is my brother, Oz. We're the Skyward Brothers, owners of the Flying Circus." "We only accept the best acts" Oz interrupted. "So, besides this admittedly interesting contraption, what else you got?" "What else? How 'bout the world's only talking dragon?" "My name is Benedict. A pleasure to meet you" he said to the Skywards. "Hmm, talking dragons aren't THAT unique, but, yeah, I'll accept it" Oz said. "How about you, do you do anything?" "Do ye have anyone who shoots 'erself out of a cannon?" "Umm, no." "Well, now ye do!" and she laughed. Frank laughed as well. "OK, I think you're hired. Come over to my office so we can discuss the details." "My pleasure!" 'Magnolia' said, and followed them into a tent. Her two companions stayed by the ornithopter. Slowly, the other circus folk came closer to them. One was a young man dressed in a raggedy cloak. "Umm, Mister Dragon, sir, if I may speak to you..." "You may" Benedict said, reassuringly. "I'm Bob the Sillyurge, and I was asked to-" "Pardon, but, the what?" the dragon interrupted. Bob sighed. "Sillyurge. It's not a real magic term, it's something my bosses came up for my act, since I'm basically, well, a magical clown" he said with a sad tone. It sounded like he did not enjoy the appellation. "You see, I specialize in Chaos Magic. But, most people don't get what that is about. They think it's all about causing random things to happen. And, well, it is, except a powerful chaos magician can bend the chaos to his will, and make it do what he wants" he explained. "...I'm far from good at it right now, though, so, you never know what's going to happen when I cast a spell. Most of the time it's fairly simple, harmless things, because I'm still so weak. The result are often- silly." "I see" the dragon said, thoughtfully. "That is actually very interesting. I'm sure that with enough training, you will be able to do much better conjurations." "You think so?" Bob reacted, cheered up. Then he remembered, "Oh right, I had something to tell you. The shepherd of our golden sheep flock asked me to beg of you, not to eat them, please." "Golden sheep?" the dragon said, lifting an eyebrow. Now that he thought of it, there was the smell of sheep in the air. He looked around, and spotted the flock, at the feet of an old shepherd. But they were tiny sheep, the size of lap dogs. Their wool however shone like gold in the sunlight. "Ah, I see" Benedict exclaimed. "It is Okay, I will not devour them"(though he secretly admitted, they looked delicious.) "Is their wool actually made of gold?" "Oh no. We would have sheared it off by now if it were!" Bob assured him. "It's more like copper, in fact. It does some amazing things, especially during thunderstorms." Meanwhile, Cornudo had wandered out on his own, looking at all the exhibits in the carnival. One in particular interested him: a statue of a middle-aged woman. Very well carved, almost lifelike. He couldn't help but reach out to touch it, to feel its makings by hand. But just as he was about to, it suddenly moved out of the way! "Hhhheeey!" it said. "It's alive!!" Cornudo gasped. "Yyyess. III'm nnot a ssstatuuue. Mmmy nnname isss Roca." It was then that Cornudo noticed that the 'statue' had been standing next to an exhibit labeled "Roca, the amazing Petrified Woman!" "Oh my" he old scientist said, still amazed. "How did this happen to you? Were you born this way?" "Nnnno. Iiiit sstarted aaa few yyyyears ago. Iiiit's a ssssicknnness off ssome kkkkkind. III hhave nno idddea werrre I ccccaught it." "Ohh" Cornudo said, both sorry for the woman yet intrigued by the situation. "Could I take a closer look at you? I might be able to help, I'm a scientist." At first, Roca seemed doubtful, but then nodded; really, she had nothing to lose. From somewhere in his messy outfit, Cornudo produced a combination of lenses of his own invention, that could be rearranged to be used as a telescope or, in this case, a microscope. He used it to look at the skin in Roca's arms. After several minutes, he suddenly gasped. "Newton's Apple!! This- THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!" Roca just stared at him. "There's- people! Tiny- no, microscopic people- living on your body!!!" She stared at him like he was mad. "Look by yourself!"the scientist insisted, and lent her the glasess. With some difficulty -and very slowly- the living statue was able to do so. And what she saw amazed her. There were indeed human-like beings, tinier than ants, scurring around the folds of her skin. They seemed to be picking at it, building roads and caves, as if her body was a mountain they were bent on inhabiting. "Aaarre thhhey-" "Responsible for your transformation?" Cornudo finished for her. "I'm not sure yet, but it seems likely." "Gggget ttthem oooff me!! "I'll work on it!" he said enthusiastically.

Coming For youHave the prince find a magic book in the study that should make him appear dead but actually binds his soul to his armor. Maybe have a Kraken, sea nymphs, and people in a hot air balloon attack the dragon's ship.

Study debunks theory of 'Napoleon complex'
But now the so-called Napoleon complex or Short Man Syndrome -- which determines that 80 per cent of the population believe that small men are angry -- has been put to the test by scientists who have established that, on average, it is tall men who are more likely to become the aggressor in conflicts.
The research is likely to be welcomed by shorter men, who have complained that they face discrimination and more challenges in life than their taller compatriots. Research has shown that shorter men tend to earn less and are deemed less attractive to women, although the three-times married Tom Cruise might disagree with the estimate that for every inch shorter you are, 5 per cent fewer women will find you attractive.
The short...
Napoleon Bonaparte
Psychologist Alfred Adler named the "Napoleon complex" after him. Historians disagree as to whether he was 5ft 2in (158cm) or 5ft 6in tall.
Josef Stalin
According to police records from 1902, the Russian despot measured "2 archin, 4-1/2 vershoks". An archin is 28 inches and a vershok 1.75 inches, suggesting he was 5' 4".
Josef Goebbels
The Minister of Propaganda and Public Entertainment in Nazi Germany -- nicknamed "the malicious dwarf" -- was 5ft 5in.
... and the tall of it
Saddam Hussein
The former Iraqi dictator, notorious for mass killings, inter-party "cleansings" and murderous whims, towered over most of his rivals at 6ft 2in.
Idi Amin
At 6 ft 4in, the former president of Uganda was as tall as his regime was brutal. His 10th son, Jaffar, once said most of his brothers were taller than their father.
Osama Bin Laden
The al-Qa'ida leader is described by the FBI as being tall - 6ft 4-1/2 - and thin, weighing in the region of 165 lbs (75kg).
