I have taken the RESNET Level I and II Home Energy Survey Professional and the BPI Building Analyst I Training with Dallas Jones of Green Training USA. My training experience was exceptional. Dallas brings both his knowledge of home energy and his field experience into the classroom and presents it in an organized, easy to follow manner. The field demonstrations of the diagnostic equipment and techniques presented by Dallas provided me with a wealth of knowledge. I would highly recommend Dallas Jones and Green Training USA to anyone who is considering training in the home energy field.

I thought the training was thorough and well taught. I do not believe I could have passed the exam without such a good course. I would recommend this course for anyone starting out in the Energy Audit field.

Green Training USA provided me with the basic knowledge and hands-on skills to start doing home energy audits immediately. The instructor was focused on the required training content and was also very responsive to questions from the participants. He was able to answer both practical and technical questions and blend them into the general discussion. The test preparation materials were very good and I had no problem passing the RESNET Level II Exam. Overall I am very happy with the course and the results.

I would like to salute Green Training USA on the excellent quality of your BPI training course. The instructor, Dallas Jones, was very knowledgeable on the subject matter and presented the material in an efficient and interesting manner. The course materials were professionally prepared and very helpful. I look forward to working with Green Training USA in the future and I will attend future training programs.

Since Todd's staff took Green Training USA's training and become BPI and RESNET certified, we have experienced an increase in pride in ourselves and our customers. Our BPI and RESNET certified technicians carry and share their expertise proudly. Our customers trust that expertise and easily welcome our "experts" into their homes. We have had local news recognize us as the experts, also. It is extremely rewarding as our customers call us after completing the work in their homes to thank us for finally being comfortable. The word is spreading fast that we are the experts in comfort. On top of all of this we are experiencing a growing customer base and revenue. Becoming BPI and RESNET certified and partnering with Home Energy Team was, by far, the best business decision we could have made. Now we are not just a "heating & cooling company," but we are becoming known as the "Experts in Home Comfort".

By taking the BPI Building Analyst and BPI Envelope Combined Course through Green Training USA, I was able to save money on the course and exam fees. And, since I completed their self-paced online study prior to taking their hands-on site training, I was only away from my business for a few days. Now I'm going to get both certifications sooner and be eligible for more government/utility programs a lot earlier than if I had taken the classes separately. Many thanks to the team at Green Training USA.

I really liked the course and will definitely consider more training from your company. I liked Dallas's presentational style, and he changed his shirt for each segment! Makes him look like a real person. I've seen some pretty deadly (boring) energy videos through the years but this training kept me engaged and I learned a lot!

Unemployment dips to 6.7 percent
Posted onThe U.S. economy created just 74,000 jobs in December, but the unemployment rate dropped to 6.7 percent as fewer people apparently looked for work.
Reuters reported that the hiring gain was the smallest since January 2011, but said the setback was likely to be temporary because there were signs that cold weather could have affected the numbers.
The unemployment rate was the lowest since October 2008 and mostly reflected people leaving the labor force, Reuters said. The data on hiring were at odds with other employment indicators that have painted an upbeat picture of the jobs market.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said 38,000 more jobs were added in November than was previously reported.
"It looks like it's a weather issue — a big drop in construction and a 1,000 drop in transportation. People will focus on the unemployment rate drop and the upward revision to the prior month," John Canally, an economist for LPL Financial in Boston, told Reuters.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the number of unemployed people declined by 490,000 to 10.4 million in December, reporting that employment rose in retail and wholesale trade, but was down in information.
The long-term unemployed — those jobless for 27 weeks or more — totaled 3.9 million, a number that changed little during the month, the government said; that group accounted for 37.7 percent of the unemployed.
The number of people employed part time for economic reasons was essentially unchanged at 7.8 million in December. Those people were working part time because their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find full-time work.
The government said 2.4 million people were marginally attached to the labor force, little changed from a year earlier. The data are not seasonally adjusted.
Those people were not in the labor force, but they wanted and were available for work and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched for work in the four weeks preceding the government's survey.
Among the marginally attached, there were 917,000 discouraged workers in December, down by 151,000 from a year earlier. Discouraged workers are people who are not looking for work because they believe no jobs are available for them.

"This recipe was wonderful! Would fool anyone into think it was flour! I mixed it a little differently. I beat shortening and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, mashed banana, milk and squeeze of fresh lemon. Then mixed in all dry ingredients together. Baked beautifully, no foil to cover. 40 to 45 minutes in my oven. Yum"

Tim Farron is certainly trying to deliver today on his role as the Lib Dems' backbench conscience.
First, he has attacked former Tory shadow Chief Whip David Maclean's lobbying for the Cayman Islands as 'astonishing'
He says: "While the Coalition is trying to make the rich pay their fair share, this exposes an element of the Conservative Party which wants to keep helping their wealthy friends hide their money from the taxman".
Not exactly collegiate.
Second, Farron has tabled an amendment to the Laspo Bill which seeks to stop legal aid cuts for those getting advice on benefits.
Ahead of todays legal aid debate the Liberal Democrat President Farron, has tabled an amendment against the government cuts. The amendment may make it difficult for the government and Ken Clarke to overturn the changes in the Lords.
The amendment has been signed by several Lib Dems. Many Tories will be furious and will hope that this is just political windowdressing and have the numbers to defeat it. But some Tory backbenchers will nevertheless be furious that again the Libs seem to have been given the nod by Clegg to vote against the Coalition.
Crucially, Farron seems to have cut a deal with Sadiq Khan on this one, for the Labour frontbench team have signed up too.
The Lords amended the Bill to retain legal aid in welfare benefits cases for: (1) advice only for official reviews and appeals to the first-tier tribunal; and (2) advice and representation for appeals to the upper tribunal and senior courts.
The Government (on Friday) tabled their own amendment (effectively accepting) part 2 of the above. But this will in fact matter to a tiny handful of people every year as most cases don't get that far.
The following amendment, to Ken Clarke's amendment on Friday, has therefore been tabled today which would also accept part 1 of the above Lords' amendment.
It has been signed by:
TOM BRAKE (Lib Dem – Co-Chair, backbench committee on justice matters)
STEPHEN LLOYD (Lib Dem)DAVID WARD (Lib Dem)
MIKE CROCKART (Lib Dem)
IAN SWALES (Lib Dem)
ANDREW GEORGE (Lib Dem)
TIM FARRON (Lib Dem – Party President)
JENNY CHAPMAN (Labour)
SADIQ KHAN (Labour)
ANDY SLAUGHTER (Labour)
ROBERT FLELLO (Labour)
Here's the detail
Line 22, at end insert
'Appeals and reviews relating to welfare benefits'
Civil legal services provided in relation to any review or appeal concerning a benefit, allowance, payment, credit or pension under –(a) The Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992,
(b) The Jobseekers Act 1995,
(c) The State Pension Credit Act 2002,
(d) The Tax Credits Act 2002,
(e) The Welfare Reform Act 2007,
(f) The Welfare Reform Act 2011,
(g) Any other enactment relating to social security.'.
The umbrella campaign of the Justice for All Coalition (who have also written here in our Central Lobby section), has pushed this hard. Tom Brake MP has also told LibDemVoice:
"Keeping legal aid for complex welfare cases will help about 100,000 at a cost of £150 per case. This would reduce the current spending on legal aid for welfare benefits cases by about £8.5m per year. Put simply, keeping legal aid for the most complex welfare cases will reduce the current bill for legal aid, whilst protecting advice for the most vulnerable. That is why I am calling upon the Government to do the right thing, the cost effective thing, and bring complex benefit cases back within scope of legal aid".

The statement shoe trend began when Miuccia Prada observed, "The obsession with handbags has finished a little now. It feels over. It's about shoes." Gaia Geddes, executive fashion and jewellery editor at Harper's Bazaar, explains: "I think everybody has bag overload. The 'bag of the season' concept meant that we were almost being dictated to as to which bags to like. These "It" bags are often copied in counterfeit versions that are very readily available. I do not want to be on the Tube and look around to see a WAG on the front of Hello! with my bag, as well as some trendy student sitting next to me with a fake version."
And so for spring, the statement shoe is boldly hued and textured, wittily heeled (see Prada, Pucci, Chanel, Chloé, Sergio Rossi), eccentrically shaped (none more so than Alexander McQueen's chopines), and lavish on the décor. "Gone are the days of Vivienne Westwood being the only extreme-shoe producer - now they are all at it," says Gaia Geddes. "Platforms, wedges, enormous block heels, and even heel-less heels are de rigueur. It may have something to do with models not being as tall as they used to be in the Eighties, or that the clothes are becoming more couture-like, which means you need a stronger shoe to balance the look.

The financial professionals who work at 1Wealth Tradingare committed to their belief in stock market investment as a prudent way to generate life-long income. There is plenty of historic evidence to support this view. After all, over the past century, stocks have generated consistently higher revenues than any other asset class—including property investments!
Does this mean that everyone who invests in stocks is guaranteed to become extravagantly wealthy? Not at all. While stock market investment is not an act of gambling—rather, it is a matter of carefully assessing the relative strengths of companies, and the overall tenor of the market—it is always accompanied by some risk. Moreover, there are numerous inefficiencies that can lead investors to spend too much time selecting their investments, or else to act on faulty information.
1Wealth Trading seeks to neutralize some of these problems. The 1Wealth Trading program allows investors a simple, easy, and direct way of managing their investments. Using the program takes just a few minutes each day, but in that short span of time, investors can generate income to last a lifetime.
1 Wealth is also zealous about education. The company believes that the most successful investors are the ones who not only know what they should do—but also what they should not do. To that end, the company rounds up a few of the most common myths about stock market investment, and seeks to debunk them.
Myth #1: On average, a stock should rise in value by about 10 percent in any given year.
There are a couple of comments to make about this common myth. The first is that, in some ways, it undervalues stock earnings. In truth, stocks can generate well over 10 percent earnings, on average, over a year period.
In terms of how a stock will perform in the span of a year, however, there is no rule of thumb—and no real way to make an accurate prediction. Remember that stock markets are, by their very nature, volatile. This means that it is not uncommon for a stock to gain in value by 50 percent in the span of a year—or, to diminish in value by the same amount. Anyone who pledges that your stocks will reach a certain point by years end is mistaken.
Myth #2: The best companies provide the best stocks.
It is this kind of thinking that drives investors, en masse, to buy stocks from Facebook,
Apple, and other big-name brands. It is not necessarily true, though, that a good company always offers the best stocks. It is probably fair to say that good companies tend to offer fair stocks—but in many cases, these stocks create such frenzied demand that they go for much more than they are truly worth. As such, investors are smart to avoid investing just because a company is trendy.
Myth #3: The best approach to stock market investment is to become an active trader.
Activity just for the sake of activity is something every investor should avoid. Every investment should be well thought out and made with a clear profit goal in mind. If you sell a stock and can't find a suitable replacement, hold onto your cash until you can. You can avoid many of these issues by following alerts from programs like 1Wealth Trading, but nevertheless, it is important to avoid wasting money simply so that you can remain "active."
Myth #4: Profits Indicate Stock Market Success
Many investors believe that a company's profits dictate the value of that company's stocks—and thus, that earnings can provide a good indicator of where stock values are headed. This is not entirely accurate, however, and in fact it is a bit like driving a car by only looking in the rearview mirror. Earnings show what a company has done, how successful it has proven in the past—but to get the full picture, you need to factor in a number of indicators that look ahead to the company's future. Charting and technical analysis is a great method for garnishing an insight into the future prospects of a company's share price.
1Wealth Trading: More Myths About Stock Market Investment
There are still further myths that many novice investors fall prey to, including each of the following.
Myth #5: A company that is down must one day come up!
This is a mistake that seasoned investors seldom make, but novices sometimes become ensnared by. They look at a company, see that it is nearing its 52-week low, and decide to buy some shares immediately—because, after all, that company's rally is surely just around the corner! What goes down must one day come back up, they tell themselves, but of course, this is not true at all.
Remember that when you are buying stocks, you are buying a stake in a company—so what ultimately matters to you is whether it's a successful company or not. And a company that is nearing its 52-week low point is hardly in a strong position! Yes, that company may make a comeback, but it is more accurate to assume the company is floundering.
Myth #6: Investing in stocks is basically gambling.
This is perhaps the most dangerous myth of all—because if you believe that investing in stocks is tantamount to rolling the dice or playing the slots, you are surely going to approach it recklessly and irresponsibly. The truth is, investing in stocks is not merely a gamble. While there is always risk involved,the prudent investor only makes investments that are well thought-out, educated, and researched.
Remember, then, to always do your due diligence. Read a company's financial reports, pay attention to market trends, and make note of which industries are favorable and which are not. Above all else, remember that no stock is guaranteed, but that taking the time to learn about different companies prevents you from making blind gambles or acting on mere hunches!
What Every Investor Should Know
The bottom line is that investing in stocks is a great way to generate income—and while it is not guaranteed, there are steps every investor can take to improve his or her performance. One step is simply to educate yourself. Another is to look into the trading program offered by 1Wealth Trading. 1Wealth Trading is devoted to helping investors earn long-term income—in just a few minutes each day.

Awesome design, congrats for the new site
I always knew you could make big money on the stock market but I was scared it might be too bigger risk. The fact 1Wealth had such consistent returns is what appealed to me. Since joining I have been making an excellent income with very little work. Such a clever system and definitely makes trading the market very easy.

Hello all,
I know that this is early, but I started my tomatoes last week and want to get an idea what people are planning to bring. I'm planning on bringing these tomatos: Razzleberry Chocolate cherry Pineapple Marcellino Red Currant Lidi All of these can be found on Park seeds website. My daughter helped pick them out, so we went for different colors and sizes this year. I'm also planning to bring artichoke starts, but will start them later. Teresa |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm planning on bringing some tomato and pepper starts, and probably broccoli, onions, leeks, and cabbage. I could have some squash and cucumber starts, but not sure yet. I should have a lot of herb and flower starts, too. |

The stars and moon came together rather quicker than I thought! Assembled what I think is a pleasing box and put it in the mail, but now just need to wait to see if my swap partner agrees. Oh, mercy!! Pace .... pace .... pace .... Understand, it's my first swap. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It is always exciting when the first swap box arrives. Can't wait to see what you sent your partner. Well done getting it mailed so quickly. Ann |
Really!!! I'm still reading my partner's old posts looking for clues. I'm getting ideas though! Congrats on being the first. Ann |
I'm still getting ideas too. But I do know that Beachlily isn't the first one to mail. I heard back from another "swapper" last week that her box was in the mail. Although it might not be the first to arrive. Ann |
Wow wee wow! You are all on top of things! I have found one item - still have two to go! I also have my packing box ready... -maria |

Yes, I am in total agreement!!!!! It is a VERY pleasing box indeed and I thank you enormously. See my new thread with all my fabulous goodies. Thanks again beachlily, every item was perfect. |

Okay, I'm still waiting for that other swap box to be delivered. It must either be coming from or going to Lisa in Germany, I think. Otherwise I think it would have been delivered by now! Anyway, that is my current guess. Is Colleen playing? If so, then it could be to or from her. I received a package in one swap that was sent via a slow boat from Japan, and it was more than well worth the wait! Lars |

Collector: Barbara J. Kozay, CTC
Dumont Borough Hall
Tax Collector's Office
50 Washington Avenue
Dumont, NJ 07628
Phone: 201-387-5025
Fax: 201-384-5248
Email: email@example.com
Hours: Monday through Friday, 8:45am to 11:45am, 1:15pm to 4:30pm.
The office is open the first two Monday nights of each quarter from 6:00pm-8:00pm.
Summer hours: Friday 8:30am to 12:00 noon, 12:30pm to 3:30pm.
The Tax Collector is charged with the responsibility of billing, receiving and collecting all taxes and assessments both current and delinquent. The Office of the Tax Collector bills over 5300 taxpayers yearly and collects taxes quarterly. Taxes are always due: February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1. In New Jersey taxes are due the first day of the second month of each quarter.
The Tax Collector presides at the annual tax sale, and also adjusts the tax accounts for tax appeals, senior citizen, disabled and veteran's deductions. The Collector is also responsible for mailing the bills to the mortgage companies and the owners of the property as well as responding to all inquiries about property taxes.
A ten day grace period to the 10th of the "due month" is allowed by resolution by the Mayor and Council after which time interest is retroactively charged from the first day of the month in which taxes are due. State statute requires any taxes remaining unpaid be subject to interest at the rate of 8% per annum on the outstanding balance up to $1500 and 18% per annum on the balance over $1500. An additional penalty of 6% is charged on any single year's delinquency if the total due (including principal and interest) at the end of that calendar year is more than $10,000.
Postmark is not recognized by tax collector's offices. The payment must be in the hand of the Collector by close of business on the last day of grace. Please note that the due date does not change, the due date remains constant but rather the grace period is an interest free period - the 10th day of grace is not the due date. This office provides a locked mailbox inside the municipal building on the wall right outside the collector's office. This is for the convenience of taxpayers if they come into the building after regular hours and wish to leave their payment. It is not meant to extend the grace period on the last day of grace. Payments are removed the next morning and posted with that day's date. Any interest that is due then is paid first and the balance is applied to the most delinquent tax bill.
You can pay your tax bill by mail with a check or in person using a check or cash. Send your check with the appropriate stub from the bill to 50 Washington Ave, Dumont, NJ 07628. Please remember that a receipt will be provided only if you send or bring the entire bill (this means the upper portion of the bill as well as the stub). The appropriate stub will be retained by the office, the back of the upper portion of the bill will be validated and the entire bill will then be returned to you. No other receipt will be provided. Your record of the cancelled check will be the only receipt.
New owners should call the tax office for the necessary property tax information. In this state, once you own property it becomes your complete responsibility (100%) to ascertain when taxes are due and the amount. If the seller has not passed the current bill to you at closing you should call as soon as possible to ascertain what your tax situation is. Whether you are a new or an old owner, according to state law, not receiving a bill does not exempt a property owner from payment of taxes or being charged interest if the bill becomes delinquent. Do no wait to receive a bill, you must be proactive and obtain the information you need well in advance of the due date. The first notification that you will receive from the collector's office regarding each quarter's payment is a delinquent notice if the tax is still unpaid at the end of the grace period.

This blog is focused on continued improv education… technique and critique. Understudies, students and current performers are encouraged to used this blog as an assistant in training, leaning and growing in improv. We will try to make the content both entertaining and informative. Please feel out the form on the right with any specific question… and you are encouraged to comment and elaborate in then comment section.
Enjoy the reading!
This is the moment…
This is the moment…
I say this a lot when I'm teaching improv because it is what makes a scene interesting to watch and participate in. This is what it means.
Improv consists of short scenes… even long-form improv consists of relatively short scenes (when compared to one life time). Each short scene is a moment in which players enter the stage and plays out a short snippet of another person's life. The character you are playing lived before you played them and they'll live on after you are done with the stage (in most cases).
The key is to make this a pivotal moment in the characters life. If your character has been picked on at school for years… this is the moment they stand up to that. If a husband and wife have been avoiding fighting about something for years, this is the moment that the fight reaches an apex.
An improv scene is not the time for avoidance… take scene themes and dialogue head on and make THIS a powerful moment in your characters life.
Am I Funny Yet?
The idea that you have to be funny to be in improv is absurd and one of the most misunderstood aspects of improv.
You don't have to be funny… in fact it is best if you aren't funny, or at least don't try to be funny.
Why don't you want to be funny…
The joke is one of the most abhorred things in improv, it is cheap, easy and often used at the expense of other performers and at the cost of the scene.
A joke is most often a anecdote that is unrelated to the scene that pulls focus from what the scene is actually about.
Avoid the joke by staying in the reality of the scene and following the principles of improv, agreement, listening, character and emotion.
How do I fit in this scene
Improv is a beautiful mishmash of individual and group expression… all brought together in a collective of 4 or 5 minute moments (longer, if you are talking about long-form). Either it is 2 individuals or 3, 4, 5 or 6… it doesn't matter because the process is always the same… listen, agree, emotion, character.
Even when you do this you still have to find your place in a scene… and once you figure that out, you have to make it important to you. Sometimes your place in a scene is not in the scene at all but on the side supporting the scene with your readiness, sometimes your place in the scene is being the main focus of the scene, sometimes it is being a supporting character (although I hesitate using that term in the context of improv because in actuality we are all supporting characters) and sometimes your roll is to be a lamp post or a rug. Whatever your place in a scene, it is important… so important that you must make that aspect of the scene the most important to you.
There is a tendency to just wait in your character for your next opportunity to speak. The key is to enjoy the process of improv, each and every character and moment.
Sometimes, Less is More…
Author: Preston Smith
It isn't a bad thing to be able to add tons of information to a scene but sometimes it isn't exactly what is needed or wanted in a scene. If listening is a key to improv, and it is… then shouldn't we help each other out by not giving each other tons and tons of information to listen to and remember? Say things with purpose. Don't drag on and on about a subject if you have already said the important part. Avoid giving lists of things. Inevitably, all your scene partner will remember is either the first or last item in your list and/or then they will have to choose which one to respond to… and they may not choose what you want them to respond to.
Try this out. After your next scene think of what you said, then cut it in half, then cut that in half, then cut that down to 2 words and finally, 1 word. Interestingly enough, that word will not only help you say things with purpose BUT it will also give you an idea of whether you are focusing on emotion and relationships or stuff and things.
Taking care of yourself
Author: Preston Smith
My last post touched upon the idea of, "taking care of yourself". I felt like it deserved a little more elaboration.
Taking care of yourself means to have a character, emotion and point of view, it doesn't mean to plan a scene. The great thing about characters, emotions and points of view is that they are transferable, no matter what the scene situation and location you will need a character, emotion and point of view.
A character gives the scene texture, point of view gives you scene a why and emotion gives your scene depth. By starting with these 3 things, you are able to listen to your scene partner and mostly, you are able to respond based on your characters, emotion and point of view.
"I've got nothing"
Author: Preston Smith
You might think "I've got nothing" when you start a scene.
This is actually a good thing. I want to hug people that say that to me!
Saying, "I've got nothing" means that you are ready to start listening in a scene. It means that you're open and ready to create a scene with your scene partner.
"I've got nothing", should be a triumphant exclamation of improv openness! But more often then not, you are telling your scene partner that you have already given up on this scene. All you need to do is rely on your improv experience and training… listening, agreement, emotion, relationship.
We need to stop thinking that, "I've got nothing" is a negative thing and start thinking of it as a positive thing.
**disclaimer: part of improv training is also taking care of yourself… when I say, enter a scene with an open mind, I don't mean you aren't suppose to take care of yourself, which loosely means have a character, emotion and point of view.
Get out of your head…
and start listening…
The first 2 years I did improv I spend 95% of my time trying to figure out what I was going to say… I'd think, "Oh man, that would be the perfect start to a scene." or "I'll say this, and then they'll say this, then I'll say this." and of course the inevitable, "Saying this thing at this perfect moment would be hilarious, how can I make the opportunity come up." All of this planning a head only led to more frustration. If you plan a head, you are not opening yourself up to what your scene partners are bringing to the scene. Planning also makes it harder to agree (yes, and).
I've spend the last 4 years of improv spending 95% of my time trying to clear my head and just listening. Trust the process of improv… listening and agreement are there so you don't have to plan ahead. Trust your scene partners… treat what they bring to a scene like a gift.
How watching improv can help you learn it…
One of the benefits of taking improv classes at Jester'z is that you get into shows for FREE… we do this to encourage students to come to as many shows as possible. Watching an improv show through the eye of improv training can be an invaluable way to learn how improv. Unfortunately, watching the show through the eye of a student may take a little of the magic out of the show… but don't worry it wont last for long because you'll begin to be see how the principles of improv fit into the performance.
In short, go to shows… as many as you can, while they are free!
Find the Funny, Don't Be the Funny
As we start some new classes this week, I am constantly reminded about how important it is in improv to find the funny rather then being the funny. As a new improvisor and even sometimes as old time improvisors we must be reminded that it is our goal to discover what is funny about everyday situations and to recreate those situations in a scene. The most common mistake is to try to be funny… while I am sure you are funny, that is not the point of improv comedy, the point to to find the funny.
Anyone can be funny with a joke book and a sense of timing… but it takes talent to find the funny.
Why I Took An Improv Class – Preston Smith
5.5 years ago I took my first class at Jester'Z Improv. I was so nervous that I didn't tell anyone I was taking the class. I didn't have any theater background or any improv experience, so I really didn't know what to expect. I signed up for the classes because I worked for a student tour company and spent a lot of time on buses with hundreds of high school students… I was looking for something to help me keep the kids entertained, I had been to several Jester'Z shows and figured a little improv was as good as anything.
Little did I know 5.5 years later I would be performing improv, teaching improv and directing improv on a weekly bases.
But let me be frank, I really had no intention of becoming a performing Jester and was shocked when Jef asked me to be an understudy. I loved the classes and had already planned on continuing to take them. I looked forward to them every week. I was learning a new skill that gave me confidence and was invigorating. I became friends with the people that I took the classes with and am still in contact with some of them today.
I wanted to share this because I think there are so many people who think that our improv classes are only for people that "want" to be Jester'Z or people that are the "theatre type"… when that is not at all the case. IN FACT, I would venture to say that the people that enjoy our classes the most are not theatre type or people that want to become JesterZ. I believe that was the case with me.
So, if you are sitting on the fence about whether to take Jester'Z classes or not… feel free to shoot me an email (preston(at)jesterzimprov.com) with any questions, I would be more then happen to answer them, but mostly, don't let this time pass you by, it took me 2 years to get up the courage to take a Jester'Z class, and I wish I would have sooner.

I don't know if this would be considered a factor affecting "absorption" of calcium or not, but remember that how much and what kind of exercise you get are also going to affect how your body uses calcium.
If you spend all day sitting on the couch (or even swimming or other activities in which your bones don't have to fight gravity), your body won't put a lot of energy into maintaining your bone density. Why should it? You're showing it every day that you don't need strong bones.
Weight-bearing exercises (anything in which you are *on your feet*) and weight training, on the other hand, tell your body to make strong bones.
If you have kids, part of helping them develop a healthy lifestyle is making sure that they get this kind of exercise; childhood and adolescence are crucial periods for bone development and what they eat and do during those years will have a lifelong impact.

Yes it's true, we are what we eat and what we eat is how we feel. So all the fuss about being fit mentally and physically boils down to one simple reason - good food equals good mood.
Ever wondered if food could be responsible for trashing your mood? Our brain works in mysterious ways, how our body feels is actually decided by the master-mind. A bar of chocolate does the trick while a glass of alcohol acts a depressant. Simply because these contain chemicals that affect the human brain which could make you feel like you are on cloud nine or down in the dumps. These five food are the best ways to feed your brain and boost mental health.
We have known these leafy greens as a powerhouse of nutrients but what we do not know is that it could do wonders to your mental health. It is rich in Vitamin K and Folic acid that helps the brain function with ease. It also helps boost memory and prevent dementia. So now, you know why mothers would tell you to eat your spinach.
It is a great source of Vitamin C and is considered to be a healthy brain food. It helps you feel fresh and active. Research has found that Vitamin C helps normalize your blood pressure when under stressful situations. So kick-start your day with a refreshing glass of orange juice.
Dried Apricots
Dried apricots contain more nutrients than other forms. They are rich in magnesium, which acts a natural stress-buster and helps to calm tensed muscles. A deficiency of magnesium is known to cause headaches and leaves you fatigued. So next time you have a headache, trade your pills with apricots. Apricots contain Vitamin B that helps to cure nervous system disorders like hyperactivity, memory loss, mental fatigue etc.
It won't be wrong if I say chocolates help spread happiness. They contain endorphins, which causes the brain to release happy feelings. They satisfy your sweet cravings but work well for your grey matter too! The cocoa in chocolates helps boost neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine and tryptophan in your brain. These neurotransmitters work as antidepressants and help to sharpen the mind.
Here's a new reason to chomp on walnuts. They are rich in omega 3 oils that help maintain a strong and healthy brain. This is because 60 percent of our brain is made up of fat therefore these help the brain function more actively. Omega 3 also fights against depression. Walnuts also contain zinc that acts as healing agent against stress.
World Mental Health Day is celebrated every year on 10th October to spread awareness about promoting mental health. With the ever increasing rate of depression cases and various mental disorders haunting children as well as the elderly, maybe it's time we stop thinking so much and tread the healthy way. So relax, take a deep breath and cook up a happy meal for yourself!

HOLMES BEACH – The usually quiet summer season on Anna Maria Island hasn't arrived yet this year, with visitors steadily streaming in from nearby Florida towns, and tourist taxes breaking records.
"Normally we'd be slowing down, but we're seeing a continued pace through November and December," Manatee County Tourist Development Council (TDC) member and Bradenton Beach hotelier David Teitelbaum said.
Many are from inland Polk County and even coastal Pinellas County, escaping crowded beaches there, he said.
Second quarter visitor numbers (April through June) are up 9.4 percent from last year, with 132,900 people visiting the county, Walter Klages, director of Data Research Services, told the TDC on Monday.
The very positive summer is outpacing tourism in the rest of the country, he said, partly because local tourists are increasingly upscale, and less affected by economic trends, he said.
TDC Chair Carol Whitmore credited short-term rentals and Pine Avenue in Anna Maria for some of the growth.
Second quarter accommodations occupancy rates were 66.8 percent with most coming from Florida and most of those from Tampa, St. Petersburg and Orlando. Room rates averaged $140 a night.
Beaches again topped the list of attributes visitors listed in surveys.
Resort taxes up
The resort tax collected by Manatee County accommodations' owners in June, the most recent month for which statistics are available, was paid to the county in July and totaled $739,234, up 28 percent from last June's $577,624.
All three Island cities' resort tax collections were up in June, with Anna Maria up 60 percent, Bradenton Beach up 11 percent and Holmes Beach up 32 percent. Resort tax increases reflect both increased visitation and improved tax collections efforts, according to the county tax collector's office.
For the first 10 months of the 2011/12 fiscal year, the county collected $6.93 million in resort taxes, nearly as much as the $6.97 million it collected during for the entire fiscal 2010/11.
Klages predicted that by the end of 2012, the county will have hosted 10 percent more visitors than in 2011.
The growth indicates that the TDC is on the right track, TDC member and restaurateur Ed Chiles said.
"What we've been doing here has supported us in the toughest economy of our lifetime," he said. "That's underpinning us and kept us from going in the tank."
Branding to be unveiled
The county's new tourism brand is scheduled to be unveiled on Sept. 12 at the Manatee Convention Center, along with a new website, new visitors guide and new television advertisements.
The new brand will "protect the character and authenticity of the Island," said Elliott Falcione, the county's Convention and Visitors Bureau director.
The current brand is florida's gulf islands/Bradenton & Lakewood Ranch. The county's tourism Facebook page is labeled Visit Bradenton Gulf Islands.
The county's tourism consultant, Walter Klages, calls the county the other Florida, referring to the lack of high rise mega condos on the beach.
"That's a major part of your brand," he said.
"That's the one thing we have to protect above everything else," Chiles said.
Party houses are threatening the quaint brand of the Island, TDC member and Holmes Beach Commissioner Jean Peelen said, referring to short-term vacation rentals that residents say are overcrowded, noisy and cause trash and parking problems.
Sports destination
Sports will be a key component to drawing visitors in the future, Klages said.
Between now and Christmas, 46 sports events are scheduled in Manatee County, including soccer, figure skating and an event called Tough Muddy, an individual endurance race in the farmlands of east Manatee County, said Joe Pickett, the county's sports commissioner.
The increase in sports marketing is partly a response to Island residents' complaints to "Quit advertising just the Island," Whitmore said. "We all said out here, 'What the heck did you do?' "
The county is attempting to diversify its destination, she said, adding, "The Island can't handle everything we're bringing in."
Big leagues
Anna Maria Island will be featured in a two-page article in the London Daily Mail's Sunday edition, Mail on Sunday, sometime in February or March, according to the CVB's Public Relations and Social Media Manager Tara Poulton, adding that the crew will be on the Island during Christmas week.
The Mail on Sunday has a circulation of 2 million with almost 5 million readers, according to its website.
Funding denied
The TDC voted not to supply any funding for the city of Holmes Beach to improve the technology in its commission chambers, where the TDC meets about three times a year.
Holmes Beach Commission Chair David Zaccagnino had twice suggested the TDC fund the improvements, saying at an earlier commission meeting that people can make presentations using a laptop computer and the pulldown film screen in the chambers.
In other business:
• Keiser University President David Reid announced that that the school, on the Manatee/Sarasota county line, is launching two hospitality-related programs, sports medicine and fitness and sports and entertainment management, with the goal of funneling graduates into the local job market.
• The CVB is advertising by billboard and other means for Republican National Convention attendees in Tampa to stay in or visit in Manatee County.

"Very good. Before browning, I infused the oil with tumeric, thyme and garlic powder. I used prepared stuffing as well, but it turned out great - everyone loved it, especially my stuffing-loving husband I don't really care for stuffing, be it homemade or prepackaged. But it will make the monthly rotation - that's how much my family enjoyed it!"
"Tasty! I use a marinade very similar to this, exceot I also use honey and green onion. Wonderful flavor!"
"Very nice. A welcomed change from the ordinary. Only had 4 ears, which I cut in half, so I scaled the recipe down to accomodate, but it was sweet and tasty. I used melted butter infused with garlic, thyme, tumeric and salt, brushing over the ears when served."
"This is the best soup I have ever had. I am an admitted mushroom freak, so I knew I would like it. I made this the day after I saw Dave make this on his show on Food Network. I don't use shallots or snow peas in this recipe. I use 1/2 of a napa cabbage and one bunch of bok choy, and I add a bag of shelled edamame. If you make this, please do ..."
"Yep! This is it - so tasty! I made this and used it as a spread for my own version of their Veggie Patch Pizza. This was perfect."
"These were good! I used more garlic than called for (I always do!) I had a pot roast in the oven at 375, so I popped these in for the last hour of cooking time. Also put a few fresh sprigs of rosemary in the mix. Wonderful!"
"Very tasty. I use a similar marinade for tuna steaks, and it tastes great on chicken, too!"
"This was really great! Used 2 cans of refried beans, a whole jar of salsa and five green onions. Hubby accidentally picked up Chipotle flavored taco seasoning, but it made for a happy mistake!! Served with sour cream on top and extra chips on the side for scooping. Hubby and 2 out of 3 kids devoured it. Next time I think I will try with some hot ..."

PLOVER -- Last year, Community Industries Corp. took a step outside of its traditional business plan to begin selling organic products.
The nonprofit -- which typically helps people with disabilities find a job, get around and shop -- opened Greens and Goods, an organic food business, at 2400 Willow Drive.

Wye Farmers' Market
The Green in the center of Wye
Wye, UK
Contributed by Project for Public Spaces
The quaintest of farmers' markets, located in a beautiful Kentish village. It runs on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month, 9am-1pm.
Why It Works
The market provides a heart to this small village (3,000 approx inhabitants). Wonderful product range, good location, lots of colours and a range of events. Energetically managed by Richard, a passionate advocate of community spirit and environmental sustainability.
What Makes Wye Farmers' Market a Great Place?
Reached by train, bicycle, bus, foot or car. It's in the heart of the village and can be accessed by all.
The market is located adjacent to a small green where people can sit in the summer, either on the grass or on benches. The Green could definitely do with Bryant Park-style movable chairs though. It's a place that is so pretty, yet under-utilised, except when there is a market.
There are usually 15-20 vendors selling a range of produce. Otherwise, activities vary, always low-key and enchanting: boules, music, apple bobbing. Latest U.S import is cherry stone spitting.
Students mingle with the elderly and kids - it's probably the only time I've seen these crowds unite in the pursuit of good food and great atmosphere.
History & Background
There's always a million reasons why one can't/mustn't start a farmers' market - among them: regulations, bureaucracy, retail opposition and apathy. Richard wasn't going to let any of them get in his way - he's a classic example of what PPS calls a "zealous nut." So he started the market in 1999 and the village hasn't looked back. On a good summers day, the place is packed with people; on a English grey rainy day, the market has a gentle, solid air to it. It's tough being a farmer in Kent - and the ones who come month after month to sell their goods at the market give a wonderful air to the village.

Does anyone have seed to share of the large hardy hibiscus with the silvery, velvety leaves? I don't know what it's called, velvet mallow? confederate rose? I have seeds of gorgeous red Hibiscus coccineus to trade. I'll work on my seed trade page today with a list of what else you might like. It's almost time for winter sowing to start! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Brenda I think what you're looking for is Hibiscus grandiflorus. Sorry I don't have any seeds (for some reason I am having difficulty growing it here), but the Botanical Garden often has H. grandiflorus on their seed list. |
Brenda, mine is blooming now, so I'll probably have seed next month. You're welcome to it. |
My Confederate Rose Hibiscus fits your description, and they come in a few colors. I grew one from seed, it's the double pink variety. I have some seeds left if you'd like some. In 2 years it has grown to over 8 ft. I believe that Marsh Mallow also fits your description, but I do not have seeds or currently grow it. Robin outside W-S, NC |

Anyone have Confederate Rose seeds to share yet? I have seeds in trade on my page if interested. |
No seeds but I have a plant. I already have it in two places and the third is not in a sunny spot so needs to go. Not sure of the color. The seeds were just marked as "confederate hibiscus". The others I transplanted without care. They sulked but seem to have adjusted. I can bring it to the seed swap or save it until the spring but you have to remind me that I need to bring it. I also have 2 ROS which will need a home ASAP. I got two double pink ROS from the Greensboro swap so the white must go. ( My neighbor's tree gives me volunteers every year.)Shannon/Dirtrx |

New Central Library under budget
The New Central Library's construction costs are $7 million below budget, according to a recent report to the library's Implementation Committee.
Library Project Manager Rick Johnson said the savings could be attributed to a "competitive construction climate."
The project has put out more than a dozen bids on the new library and several have come in under budget, Johnson said.
"That's good news, obviously, but since we've always been ahead of the private fund-raising campaign, we still need to look at our costs and our committed funding," he said.

In September 2011, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed New York's electronic recording law, which permits electronic recording of instruments affecting real property by recording officers in New York State (Chapter 549 of the Laws of 2011). Starting September 23, 2012, the law's effective date, recording officers may receive and record digitized paper documents and electronic records affecting real property, such as deeds, mortgages, notes and accompanying documents.
The law authorizes the Office of Information Technology Services (ITS), formerly the Office for Technology, as the State's Electronic Facilitator, to promulgate rules and regulations to support the implementation of electronic recording by local recording officers. To this end, ITS established a focus group, and solicited views of recording officers, representatives of the State's real property title, legal and banking industries and other interested public officials and private parties throughout the rule-making process. Thanks to the efforts of the focus group, the regulation was adopted on September 19, 2012, and can be viewed here.
Among other things, the regulation requires that electronic recording of instruments affecting real property satisfy technical standards and guidelines prescribed by the Property Records Industry Association (PRIA), which are incorporated into the regulation. These are available on the PRIA website at www.pria.us. The PRIA standards and guidelines are the exclusive property of PRIA, which permits their use and distribution in accordance with license restrictions set forth on the PRIA site. Given the highly technical nature and format of these PRIA publications, interested parties should seek assistance from IT professionals in downloading and reading the applicable standards and guidelines. More readable and less technical versions of the PRIA publications concerning electronic recording can be found at PRIA Resources, including http://www.pria.us/i4a/doclibrary/getfile.cfm?doc_id=45 and
You can contact ITS at firstname.lastname@example.com with regards to the eRecording regulation.

Weekend Update
Our action over the weekend is concentrated at Newbury and we have three intended runners.
FANTASY PRINCESS runs in a competitive fillies handicap, I am very pleased with her progress since her last run, and pleased with her last piece of work. She should give a good account of herself tomorrow and this should lead to a valuable fillies handicap at Glorious Goodwood in two weeks time.
BAHARAH is set to take her chance in an ultra competitive listed race, which is a Group 2 or 3 in all but name. This is a step up in trip for her, but I am pretty adamant she will get the extra distance. We have been very pleased with the way she has been training since Ascot.
COMPTON FALCON is set to step in distance to run over 2 miles, which will hopefully unlock the key to him as he has been rather frustrating with his performances. He too has been pleasing us with his training on Newmarket Heath and we are hopeful of a good run.
