The County Woman~Behind The Scenes "Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." These words of Melody Beattie, one of America's most beloved self-help authors, echo the theme of this issue of Atlantic County Woman. These are the months when people focus on thankfulness and giving. We, the staff at the County Woman Publications, are thankful for the hard work and exemplary educational articles provided by our contributing writers six times a year to the readers in Atlantic, Ocean, and Monmouth County.
On this page, I want to introduce you to the key women behind the scenes of these three publications and express my gratitude for their contribution to our success.
Darlene Davis: "The creation and page layout design of the three publications is a tribute to your ingenuity. Thank you for your perserverance during the many late nights and weekends to ensure that our deadlines have always been met over the past seven years. Your vision in creating each page is always superb!" PJ Santos: "Thanks to your web design skills, our website is as attractive as it is functional. Your social networking expertise has helped to create brand recognition for us throughout all three counties. Thank you for your professionalism and your dependability. It's been great having you work Lynn K. Wolf, Publisher with us since 2007 to help grow our "publication family." Annette Jenkins: "Annette is a very gifted photographer whose patience, creativity and dedication has resulted in beautiful front covers, professional business profiles and perfect "on location" photos. I am very thankful that she has been the photographer for the Monmouth County Woman publication since its inception in March 2008!" Katie Githens: "Thank you for your excellent customer services and communication skills. Many of the clients and readers have shared how they appreciate your patience and assistance with each and every issue. You definitely bring the magic of "Disney World Customer Service" to the County Woman publications!" Kristina Pruitt: "As an Associate Publisher, Kristina assists me with the production, copyediting, and sales. I'm very grateful for her consistent level of expertise with the handling of all aspects of the publications. You have an excellent eye for misspellings and grammatical errors. Your humor and positive manner with our clients and readers is especially appreciated when on deadline!" Laura Golden: "Thank you for joining our design team this year. I appreciate your reliability, commitment, and skills with our publications!" Meghan Morse: "As our newest member of our team, I want to thank you for your enthusiasm, graphic skills, and helping the contributing writers realize their optimum satisfaction with their page." Jeanne Teller: "Thank you for your exemplary job as my extension in Ocean and Monmouth County with the distribution. Under your management, the distribution of the publications is widespread and effective." Gena Ansell-Lande: "The interview questions and subsequent articles that you write are well received by the clients and the readers. Your involvement with the publications span over two years and include working with a wide variety of professionals. Thank you for your professionalism and writing skills in all three publications!" I have been very fortunate to have a team of dedicated and talented women whose synergy results in superb client service and high quality primary educational publications, Atlantic County Woman, Ocean County Woman and Monmouth County Woman publications!
We wish you a safe and happy holiday! Lynn K. Wolf, Publisher
The County Woman Team: (L-R) PJ Santos, Laura Golden, Jeanne Teller, Lynn Wolf, Kristina Pruitt, Darlene Davis, Katie Githens, and Meghan Morse.

The County Woman~Behind The Scenes
Meet The Talented Women Of The County Woman Publications Read how their personalities, passions and dedication create the superb issues that women and their families in Atlantic, Ocean, and Monmouth counties read six times a year!
Annette Jenkins, Photographer
Owner: Annette Jenkins Photography, LLC My first career was managing and designing technology software. Then I turned a 20-year passion for photography into a career and never looked back. My husband and I love to travel the world and look forward to our vacations. Some of our favorites include Thailand, Costa Rica, Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast and the national parks in the United States. I love meeting people and hearing their stories. I've certainly met many fascinating women through Monmouth County Woman, beginning with the publisher, Lynn Wolf! It makes my day when I take someone's headshot and they are thrilled with the results!
Kristina Pruitt, Associate Publisher I have worked with Lynn and the County Woman publication since its inception seven years ago. It has been exciting to watch the Atlantic County Woman publication grow and expand, as well as having been part of the launching of the Ocean County Woman and the Monmouth County Woman publications in 2008. I love speaking with different people and learning what they do and being able to help grow their business through educational articles. It is creative and interesting work, and I feel blessed to be a part of it. My home life is very busy with two wonderful children, a supportive husband and a pet snail!
Meghan Morse, Art and Production Associate I am the newest staff member at the County Woman publications. I enjoy learning all the various aspects of the publication business in this fast paced office! Currently, I'm a full time student at Cumberland County College pursuing an Associate Degree in graphic design. My favorite part of working here is learning the procedures and talking with the vast number of different businesses that are featured in these publications. In addition, I enjoy designing the display ads and pages along with working next to very talented and experienced graphic designers.
Darlene Davis, Professional Page
Designer /Graphic Designer Owner: Designs By Dar since 1999 I have been designing for thirty-five years and my work career and home design business compliment each other perfectly. I'm blessed with a beautiful family. A daughter, Kelly Jae, grandson, Bryce (age 5) and an 11-year-old Labador 'Kel.' Our family suffered a devastating loss this spring when the love of my life, my husband Jay, passed away suddenly, but our love keeps us afloat. I've been with Lynn from the start and I'm proud to be a large part of "The County Woman" publications. I learn a lot of valuable information through the articles and share it with family and friends outside of the counties. In my 35 years of designing, I must say that working with Lynn and the staff has truly been a source of joy for me.
PJ Santos, Webmaster
Owner: Digital Art Station, Inc. since 1999 I graduated from De La Salle University in 1999 and formed my business, specializing in website development, graphic digital design and online marketing business. I live in Egg Harbor Township with my husband, David, and my two beautiful daughters Isabella and Gabriella. My first meeting with Lynn was seven years ago when she approached me to design the Atlantic County Woman website. The website has expanded to include Ocean and Monmouth County Woman publications and evolved into a digital flipbook with active Facebook and Twitter accounts. As a resident of Atlantic County, I'm excited to see the publication everywhere I travel in the county, as well as watching the online presence grow stronger everyday.
Laura Golden, Graphic Designer Owner: Golden Design, LLC Four years ago I started a family graphic business, Golden Design, and am able to be home with my four year old daughter and enjoy a thriving business. I've been working with the Monmouth, Atlantic and Ocean County Woman for about a year. It is my privilege to create page designs for a wide range of different clientele through the publications.
Katie Githens, Public Relations
Executive /Graphic Designer I joined the staff of the County Woman Publications in 2012 after completing my Associates' Degree in Graphic Design and a certificate of Web Design from Camden County College. Working with the contributing writers is the best part of my job. I've learned so much through reading their educational articles and have developed a rapport that would never have been possible if I wasn't part of the County Woman team. My husband Eric and I have been married for three years and we have a boxer named Ratchet. I am an avid dirt bike rider, racing & competing in ECEA Enduro sanctioned events.
Gena Ansell-Lande, Writer
In addition to working as a writer for the County Woman publications, I am a "full time" Mom to twin boys Maxwell and Griffin, 4 ½ years old. I am also "Mom" to our 8 year old Weimaraner, Riley who is almost as much maintenance as my boys. My background is in professional writing and I graduated from Emerson College with a BFA Degree in Writing, Literature and Publishing and a Master's Degree in Public Administration from Seton Hall University. I have enjoyed working for the County Woman Publications and it is the ideal fit for my lifestyle right now. Best of all, are the friendly staff and publisher. It is always a pleasure to work with other friendly, accomplished women. I am grateful for the opportunity to be working with County Woman team!
Jeanne Teller, Regional
Distribution Director I've enjoyed a career in two diverse fields, one in real estate/ construction and the other in healthcare. I worked as a claims supervisor for Barnabas Health for 16 years. While working for Barnabas Health, I gained a broad knowledge of health insurance and the inner workings of a hospital system. I'm happily married with three grown children, three grandchildren and one more grandchild coming soon! I've enjoyed interacting with the public in both Monmouth and Ocean Counties through The County Woman publications. I've met many interesting people.
In addition to those pictured, I would like to thank all my distributors for their contribution and dedication to ensure the publication is available in the medical offices, libraries, grocery stores, super Wawa's, special events, and other professional buildings throughout Atlantic, Ocean, and Monmouth County. By 2018, over half of small businesses will be run by female entrepreneurs, according to a study by The National Federation of Small Businesses. Independent women are taking the initiative to start their own businesses and have shown they have the tenacity to make it happen. The following quote rings true for all entrepreneurs: "There is no royal flower-strewn path to success. And if there is, I have not found it, for if I have accomplished anything in life it is because I have been willing to work hard." – Madam C.J. Walker, America's first female entrepreneur millionaire, 1912. Photo Credits: Page 4 group photo by Donna L. Andrews Photography.

Welcome to the Sept./Oct. 2013 Issue Of Ocean County Woman
Up and down the Jersey Shore, families were enjoying the lazy, magnificent days of summer. Many of the owners on the boardwalks reported their businesses were doing well, some said even better than last year. Admittedly, there is still ongoing construction along the northern parts of the Jersey Shore, but overall, the Jersey Shore is amazing. The revitalization proves we are Jersey Strong! In addition to the high quality educational articles found in this issue, we want to bring your attention to several of the specials and events that you won't want to miss. Now, our play giveaways are only available on Facebook. "Like Us" on Facebook and participate in our play giveaways as well as other offers during the issue. The equinox brings autumn on September 22 at 10:29 PM EDT. The fall and spring equinoxes are the only days of the year in which the sun crosses the celestial equator.

Do I need to prepare for an IPL Photo Facial?
Owner of Beri Esthetique
Generally speaking you don't need any special preparations to be treated. However, you need to avoid the sun, tanning beds, spray tan products or bronzers. We will recommend that you wear an SPF 30 or higher before and after your treatments.

Answers To Your Questions About Celiac Disease which can result in anemia (low blood count). Patients can also develop osteopenia and osteoporosis (weakening of the bones), headaches, fatigue, damage to dental enamel, joint pain, and abnormal liver tests.
Who can have celiac disease?
Shamina Dhillon, M.D. Shore Gastroenterology Associates, PC
What is Celiac disease?
Celiac disease is a condition in which the body has an immune reaction to a protein called gluten. Gluten is found in wheat, rye, barley, and many prepared and packaged foods. When someone with celiac disease ingests gluten, the immune response causes inflammation that can damage the lining of the small intestine. Since the small intestine is responsible for absorbing nutrients in our diet, damage to its lining can cause malabsorption.
What are the symptoms of celiac disease?
The symptoms of celiac can be different in each person. In mild disease, one may not have any symptoms at all. The most common digestive symptoms include diarrhea, weight loss, abdominal pain, bloating, and excessive gas. However a small percentage of celiac patients may actually have constipation or even be obese. Since the disease leads to a decreased absorption of nutrients and vitamins, patients could suffer from iron deficiency
Anyone can have celiac disease including children and adults. It is estimated that 1 in 141 people in the US have celiac disease and it is most common in Caucasians. It also tends to occur with greater frequency in people who have family members with celiac, those who have type 1 diabetes, autoimmune thyroid disorders, and a skin disease called dermatitis herpetiformis.
How is celiac disease diagnosed?
that has a camera on the end. A tissue sample, or biopsy, will be taken to assess for damage under a microscope. If the diagnosis of celiac is confirmed, you will be tested for many nutritional deficiencies including iron, folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin D. A test to measure the bone density may also be performed.
levels. These will usually normalize within 6 months to a year. You may also be prescribed vitamins to help treat any nutritional deficiencies. About 10 percent of people may have symptoms despite following the diet carefully. While other conditions may contribute to ongoing symptoms, the most common culprit is inadvertent ingestion of gluten. A small percentage of people can have refractory celiac disease, where digestive symptoms do not improve despite following a gluten free diet.
How is celiac disease treated?
The treatment for celiac disease consists of a complete gluten free diet. In addition to foods, gluten can be found in packaged goods, medications, supplements, and even certain make up products. Some common foods which needed to be avoided include bread, pasta, pastries, cereal, beer, and many sauces and condiments. Foods which don't include gluten are rice, corn, potatoes, soybeans, fruits and vegetables, gluten free breads and pasta, as well as wine and distilled alcoholic drinks. Many grocery stores in the area have sections devoted to gluten free products. In fact, many vacation spots and cruises will offer gluten free menus. It is best to consult with a dietician that specializes in understanding a gluten free diet and lifestyle. Your doctor can monitor the response to treatment by following antibody
If you feel you may have celiac disease, it is important to see a doctor before eliminating gluten from the diet. Initial testing for celiac includes a blood test which looks for high antibody levels to gluten. These include tissue transglutaminase antibody and endomysial antibody. Over 90 percent of people with untreated celiac disease have increased levels in the blood. Before having these tests, you should continue to eat a normal diet that includes gluten. If these antibodies are elevated, you will need an upper endoscopy. During this procedure, the gastroenterologist will examine the small Services: bowel lining Adult Gastroenterology with a flexible instrument Colon Cancer Screenings
dreaded but rare complication of untreated celiac is small intestinal cancer (lymphoma). In children, undiagnosed celiac disease can lead to diarrhea, short stature, delayed puberty, and certain neurological conditions. It is essential to meet with your doctor regularly and undergo monitoring of antibody levels and any nutritional deficiencies. While embarking on a gluten free diet can seem like a daunting task, there are many resources available to patients to make the journey easier and manageable.
What are complications of untreated or undiagnosed celiac disease?
In addition to having ongoing gastrointestinal symptoms, patients with untreated celiac disease can have malnutrition. Deficiencies of important minerals and nutrients can lead to changes in hair, skin, or nails, ongoing diarrhea, and even changes in taste or smell. Malabsorption of calcium and vitamin D can lead to issues with fertility and miscarriage. Some people also experience lactose intolerance. Another

Acupuncture And Infertility Over the years I have treated many cases of infertility. These cases were the most challenging. Case #1: LS, a 25-Year-Old Female:
Written by: Michael D. Beys, L.Ac. , MSTOM Acupuncture Health Services, LLC
The purpose of this article is let women know that acupuncture can help them in all stages of trying to get pregnant. In my experience as an acupuncturist I have seen the mainstreaming of acupuncture over the past 10 years. With the science backing the the empirical data collected over the past 3000 years, I work hand in hand with gynecologists and fertility specialists. Most women who are going through IVF know to seek the help of an acupuncturist. Be wary though of those who say they treat infertility not all acupuncturists are the same. That is why you need to have an acupuncturist who knows everything about your history in order to best help you.
Doctors told LS that she would not get pregnant. LS did not want to believe them and took matters into her own hands. Researching acupuncture LS reached out to Acupuncture Health Services. After completing a full intake we found out that as a child she was overweight. To overcompensate LS became a fitness addict. LS had 0% body fat and increased muscle mass. As a result there was an imbalance of her female hormones. LS had not had a period in four years. After two years of acupuncture and herbs she gave birth to a baby boy. This was the most challenging case by far to date.
Case #2: IP, a 37-Year-Old Female:
IP had just ended her first cycle of IVF unsuccessfully. She heard that acupuncture could increase the success rate of IVF. We began treatment while she was attending her reproductive endocrinologist. Frequent testing showed that her hormones were normalizing. I remember her saying, "my LH (luteinizing hormone) is at a good level and all I'm doing is the acupuncture.� Over a period of seven months I suddenly lost contact with IP. I called and called. IP called three months later out of the blue to thank me. IP had gotten pregnant. IP told me that the institution where she was doing the IVF treatment had done a pregnancy test and it came back
positive. They further told her it was ectopic and needed to be aborted. Wisely, she saw her gynecologist. He confirmed that everything was normal and that she should break from further treatments. She now has a baby girl.
Case #3: YB, a 36-Year-Old Female: After one successful pregnancy YB wanted to have another child. Unfortunately, she had suffered multiple miscarriages. The significance of this case is that even though she had a successful pregnancy in the past she was diagnosed with infertility. After eight months of treatment she got pregnant. In the eighth month of her pregnancy, YB lost her mother. Although her mother was terminally ill it was hard to cope with. In the end she gave birth to a baby boy.
Case #4: TT, a 36 Year Old Female:
TT was on her eighth cycle of IVF. She had one successful pregnancy with IVF and was trying to get pregnant a second time. Three of the cycles were freshly harvested eggs and four were frozen. TT was very excited about the prospects of trying acupuncture, but was disheartened after so many failures. I mentioned that every attempt was a different scenario including the current cycle with acupuncture. I referred to the "German study,� a case that stated women who received acupuncture before and after embryo transfer had a higher success rate of implantation
Michael D. Beys, L.Ac. , MSTOM, is a graduate of Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. His training consisted of over 3000 hours in the study of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine in a state-approved, nationally accredited college. Michael D. Beys is nationally certified in both Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology. He was the supervising Acupuncturist at RUMC's substance abuse Detox Center and South Beach Psychiatric Rehab. He is also fluent in Greek, Spanish, and proficient in Mandarin Chinese and Arabic. Currently, Michael's practice also focuses on Women's Health and Infertility.
The County Woman Magazine
"Going through IVF can be harsh on your body and mind. Pairing acupuncture along side of IVF helped my body get ready for implantation not only physically but mentally as well. I always looked forward to going to acupuncture and I always left feeling calm and de-stressed. Needless to say my pregnancy test came back positive and my overall wellbeing was increased with the help of acupuncture. I would highly recommend Mike Beys at Acupuncture Health Services.â€?

than those women who did not. I also explained that we would treat twice a week for two months until TT went for the transfer procedure. I also encouraged TT to do what the German study suggested and go before and after transfer, which she did. The most significant thing we worked on was not to have any expectation. Although we did everything by the book including acupuncture, TT could not spend time thinking about whether or not she would get pregnant. Expectations often create scenarios that do not come to fruition and one cannot spend time thinking about the
future if one is not there yet. We can only treat and take it one day at a time. The worstcase scenario was the IVF would fail. We set up post IVF treatment protocols. TT could continue getting acupuncture until she got pregnant. She was agreed with this, although, she did not want to pursue IVF any longer. TT had a baby boy.
My goal as an Acupuncturist is not only to provide the best care possible, but also to provide you with an open channel of communication so that you are 100% aware and participating in the

A recurring issue related to thyroid problems is the realization that many people already taking medication to alleviate the issue are not feeling any better. This is because common treatments such as Synthroid (levothroid) are only composed of the pro-hormone T4, which if not properly converted to the active T3 will not give you the metabolic effect.
Another important indicator on the above diagram is reverse T3, which competes with active hormone T3. If your pro-hormone (T4) produces too much reverse T3, which blocks the active hormone, it will lead to normal "conventional lab tests�. However, you will have a low functioning thyroid. The other important factor is iodine levels. It is estimated that 50 percent of the population has low iodine levels. Sufficient iodine levels are essential for a properly functioning thyroid.

Sarah Wu '19, won the 2016 International Photo Contest's Asia Center Prize, awarded by the Harvard Office of International Education. Wu captured this photo of an artist in his studio in Beijing during a summer study abroad program. She described the circumstances of capturing this image:
"When my boyfriend came to visit me in Beijing (from Shanghai), we wandered around hutongs in Beijing. In one alley, we came across two elderly women returning to a restaurant, Grandma's Kitchen, from their breaks. They invited us to go into the restaurant. Inside, the walls were adorned with paintings, which I later found out were painted by the owner, Jacky. We talked to Jacky for a while, and he was intrigued by identities as a Chinese-Canadian and a Brit. I found his story to be interesting: he dropped out of art school to work in advertising, now runs a chain of Grandma's Kitchen restaurants and a tea company on the side that supplies to Whole Foods. His restaurants employ elderly women, a population that has difficulty obtaining employment. He invited me over for tea in his studio loft the next weekend, and I took this photo while he was painting."
Sarah has a concentration in Social Studies at Harvard.

With the heat of summer now bearing down on most parts of the country, it's time to break out the air conditioner and put it through its paces. This is the best time to get out into the open air, shed your clothes and hopefully enjoy a respite from the heat and humidity at some lake, beach or poolside cabana. But not everyone has the ability to lay around in bathing suits all summer. Most folks have to battle the heat from one air conditioned building to another, sweating through their dress clothes during a long work day. The last thing you want is to come home and deal with that brutal heat. But if you don't take care of your air conditioner, it won't take care of you. Here are five regular maintenance tips for your air conditioner.
Probably the most important tip on the list is to regularly change out the air conditioner's filter. Whether you're dealing with a window box or a central air unit, every one of them runs the generated air through a filter. It's a good idea to change these out at least once every three months. If you live in a busy urban center or near an active construction site you might want to change the filter even more frequently, to insure you don't deal with any air quality issues in the home. And don't skimp on the replacement filters. A low end filter will just have to be replaced more frequently, and will force your unit to burn more energy to create the same cooling effects.
The vents and ductwork in your home should also be regularly cleaned. You should be able to handle this as part of your regular chores, just making sure you dust the vents and grilles several times a year. But at the beginning of the summer you should open up these vents and get in there with the long extension on your vacuum. If you allow dust, dirt and debris to collect in there you'll get less cold air, and probably see your energy bill skyrocket as well.
Although this isn't truly maintenance for your air conditioning unit, make sure that the input and outpoint points aren't being blocked. The condensing unit is how the air conditioner pulls air into the house for cooling. If it is in any way blocked, the unit will perform poorly. In the worst case scenario you might even burn out the engine. Inside your home, make sure the vents in the front of the unit have clear exposure through each room. Partially blocking the unit will cut down on your air flow and create pockets of heat that you certainly won't appreciate.
Next, check the level of freon in the unit. Generally speaking the freon isn't consumed during the cooling process. That means it should last for the life of the unit in a perfect world. Of course, the world is far from perfect. Units degrade, break down and leak. And leaking freon is dangerous on several levels. If you notice the air conditioner doesn't seem to provide air that's as cold as it once was, bring an HVAC technician in to make sure there aren't any problems.
Finally, look over the rest of the mechanical elements of the unit. This becomes even more crucial as an air conditioner gets older. The coils could rust or tear, or the electrical controls could wear out. This is another reason you might want to bring in a professional if you're uncomfortable or don't know what you should be looking for. Take this opportunity to ask about Energy Star hardware. You'll save money and the environment, which is the best one-two combo you could achieve.

by Heidi Vanlandingham
In ancient times, the Ice Age to be exact, the prime directive of marriage, the term, however loosely applied, was to produce offspring for the continuation of the race. Neanderthals, for instance, lived in small populations, which didn't interact with one another. Therefore, if the family wanted to survive, they had sex with one another, regardless of the relationship. Thankfully, the human race evolved.
When the Hammurabi Codes were discovered, written by King Hammurabi in ancient Babylonia, we found out about the Babylonian Marriage Market where once every year, the young women of marriageable age would gather in one place to be auctioned off to the highest bidding male. Personally, this reminds me of the slave auctions held around the world. A milder version of this would be the English Ton during the Regency Era where the girls would dress up in their finest and attend the best parties in order to attract a titled husband, the higher the title, the better.
Every race has its own version of how to get married, but when women become scarce, the poor libido-driven men have a time of it. The first known "mail-order brides" came about during the 1600s in America where the men outnumbered the women in Jamestown almost four to one. Not very good odds for the country's survival. To fix this, the Virginia Company brought over a shipload of English women who wanted better lives for themselves. This practice continued, spreading to New France, now known as Canada, with the filles du roi (King's Daughters).
The practice of mail-order brides continued until the mid to late 1800s when it flourished. With the discovery of gold in California and the opening of the western frontier, lots of single men traveled west where very few women were. After the Civil War in 1865, with more than 600,000 men dead, the women were left without means of support. Their only option—go west.
By the 1870s, it wasn't uncommon to see paid advertisements in the matrimonial columns of newspapers from coast to coast requesting wives and even women requesting husbands. Each ad would list certain attributes such as tall or short, skinny or fat, and rich or poor. Some ads would even include a picture. Were all the ads truthful, you ask? Nope. It seems that even the generations before us knew how to exaggerate and lie about who they were and how they looked.
I first learned about mail-order brides when I was a teenager. A cousin decided her oldest sister needed a good husband. So, what did she do? She answered a mail-order bride ad in a magazine, of course. Her sister wasn't quite sure what to make of the situation she found herself in but answered the man's letter anyway and has been married to that rancher in Wyoming for twenty-nine years. Romantic, isn't it?
The prospect of being a mail-order bride has always intrigued me, and many thousands more as this amazing system has grown worldwide. Now, women from many countries scour the internet looking for prospective husbands who can provide for and love them. Same goes for the men. Not only do people dream of having a good life with plenty of food to eat and a roof over their heads, but they also dream of a little romance, hearts bursting with love. But more than anything, they hope to find that one special person—their soulmate.
As my intrigue with mail-order brides continues, I will be releasing two follow-up stories about two favorite characters in Lucie: Bride of Tennessee. Six-year-old Stella McCord is all grown up and searching for her groom in The Gambler's Mail-Order Bride, and Alex Croft finds his own bride in A Groom for Rebecca. At the end of September, The Bride's Deception will release in a boxed seat with USA Today best-selling author, Callie Hutton, Maxine Douglas, and debut author, Peggy McKenzie.

Jessica & Carl | Wedding at The Addison
I met Jessica last year while photographing her best friend's wedding. It's such an honor to "keep it in the family", see familiar faces, and document such special days in their lives. Jessica and Carl had a romantic sunrise engagement session on the beach, and as the details of their classic wedding began to emerge, I grew more and more excited.
Gorgeous couple? Check.
Beautiful venue? Yep.
Genuine reactions from family after seeing Jessica as a bride for the first time? Oh you know it.
Jessica and her girls got ready for the big day at the newly renovated Waterstone Resort and Marina.
Oh, you know, just making friends with the ring-bearer.
Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" was playing, and my second-shooter Chelsea ran to me to point out this sweet moment. We instantly fell in love with these two, and the lyrics mean even more now. We shot these images with tears in our eyes. THIS is what it's all about.
Congratulations, Jessica and Carl! Thank you so much for letting me be part of your magical day!

The Chronicle of Higher Education has just published a piece entitled Needed: a National Strategy to Preserve Public Research Universities that should be mandatory reading for those concerned about the future of UW-Madison. Unfortunately, we cannot legally reprint the entire article here, and access is for subscribers only (and, rumor has it, those accessing via the library system from a UW account). The following key quotes, however, summarize the problem:
Today, however, the state side of the partnership is failing. State support of public universities, on a per student basis, has been declining for over two decades. Even before the current economic crisis, it was at the lowest level in 25 years. As the global recession has deepened, lower tax revenues have driven state after state to further reduce appropriations, with cuts ranging as high as 20 percent to 30 percent threatening to cripple many leading public universities and erode their world-class quality.
The declining priority that states have given to public higher education makes sense for them but is a disaster for the nation. The growing mismatch between state priorities and national needs suggests that it's time once again to realign responsibilities between the state and the nation for higher education and provide adequate resources to sustain American leadership.
Here is a taste of the solution proposed by the author of the article:
Once more, it is time for the federal government to step in and provide the support necessary to keep our crucial graduate programs among the best in the world. Educating scientists and engineers, physicians and teachers, business leaders and entrepreneurs is vital to developing the human capital that is now key to national prosperity and security in the global, knowledge-driven economy. It cannot be left dependent on shifting state priorities and declining state support.
We are certain that the future financing of the UW system will be hotly discussed during the coming months in view of larger-than-expected shortfalls in state revenues. Now is the time to begin considering a range of proposed solutions from privatization to federal funding and to anticipate the intended and unintended consequences of each.
