I get so many dms from different people asking me how did I become a model and get to where I am? So here's how it all happened…..
Ever since maybe middle school, I was a tomboy. I never got my nails done, wasn't into all the girly stuff really, a tad bit, but not like now. I played different sports and was really rough. In high school, I played basketball<yes I sucked, but I was iight> but I had suffered a very bad concussion that through everything off. I wasn't doing well in school and I stopped playing sports. Eventually once I recovered and was able to be active, I just didn't feel like my athletic ability was still there so I started modeling.
People always told me I should try it, but I never thought about it til then. I found a local designer to work with and started doing lots, and lots, and lots of fashion shows, meeting and networking with different people. <NETWORKING IS KEY> That, then, led me to New York Fashion Week twice! NYFW led to an invite to Paris Fashion Week.<didn't end up going>
I stopped doing runway and started trying print/commercial shoots. I did a casting for Vixated Salon in Wilmington, DE for a beauty expo that featured many celebrity hairstylist and Blac Chyna as special guest. That experience opened many doors for me. Since then, I've been a hair model for celebrity hairstylist CliffVmir.
I've been working with Cliff since I was in high school, and we not only have a business relationship, but we are friends. We've done the Bronner Bros. hair convention twice a year for about 3-4 years now. We've done different hair photoshoots, promotion videos, etc. Modeling for a brand will definitely get your face out there. I've seen my pictures all over social media, pinterest, fake hair pages, you name it! And YES, it has helped me with branding my own self, gaining my own followers, and helping me find my purpose.
Other doors have opened for me, such as: being in music videos with T.I., becoming a brand ambassador for different businesses, becoming an entrepreneur myself, and many other blessings!
I want every person out there that is pursuing a dream to know that with time, patience, and prayer your dreams can become your reality. Nothing happens overnight! <Beyonce didn't become BEYONCE overnight> Surround yourself with people who believe in you, motivate you, and help you become a better you. Most importantly, if you don't believe in yourself, who will believe in you?

There are a ton of withdrawal methods to choose from when you want to withdraw your winnings from your mobile casino. May people who want more niche withdrawal methods find themselves having a hard finding the perfect casino to stick with.
But lets say you use a pretty popular payment method, like bank transfer or e-wallets like Skrill. You can basically withdraw and deposit anywhere. What your interested in is speed. Well for you, we've got just the list you need. Here are the mobile casinos who will offer the fastest withdrawal speeds around.
One Day Withdrawal Mobile Casinos
Not every withdrawal method can happen in under a day. Receiving a cheque in a day is an unrealistic expectation, even of the greatest mobile casinos around. But there are a few that can promise to get you e-wallet payments and bank transfers to you within one working day.
These are the rare few.
Sapphire Rooms
Sapphire Rooms boasts that all of its e-wallet withdrawals will be out to you within 1 working day. Sapphire Rooms doesn't offer a lot of e-wallet options, only currently providing for Skrill and Paysafecard users.
It's Bank Transfer times a little further behind, estimated at 3 working days, which is the industry standard.
If you're a Skrill or Paysafecard user, Sapphire Rooms is offering speedy, if limited withdrawal options.
Withdraw In A Day With Sapphire Rooms!
Bet 365
Bet 365 ups the game when it comes to e-wallet options, but its speed is just as fast. 1 working day to process Skrill (1 tap), Neteller, Paypal, iDebt and Paysafecard. That's a pretty vast range of e-wallets and all delivered within a day.
Bet365 promises a bank transfer withdrawal rate of between 1-2 working days. In theory you could be receiving your bank transfers within a day if you apply early enough, but it's entirely likely it may jump to 2 days depending on other circumstances.
Bet 365 offers one of the fastest services around all the same.
Withdraw in style with Bet365!
Betway Casino
Betway Casino offers much the same speed as Bet 365 offers. 1-2 working days with bank transfers, with time cut to 1 working days for all e-wallet withdrawals.
However, when it comes to Betway, using the term e-wallet withdrawal, has a lot more of a spread than every other casino out there. In terms of e-wallets Betway offers:
- Skrill & Skrill 1 tap
- Neteller
- Paypal
- Entro Pay
- Qiwi Wallet
- EziPay
- ecoPayz
- ClickandBuy
- Citadel Direct
And that's only the e-wallets that they allow for withdrawal. Their range is huge, so if you need to make payments, Betway probably has you covered.
Withdraw with everything at Betway Casino!
Titanbet doesn't have the fastest upfront speed, but it has an interesting proposition for returning customers who withdraw frequently. Titanbet promises that the more you withdraw, the faster the withdrawal process will get upon further withdrawal.
The default times for their bank transfers come at the price of a 3 working day wait to process any payments. The e-wallets on offer are Paypal, Skrill and Neteller. These withdrawal times are much more healthy at a 1-2 working day wait in order to receive your withdrawal.
However, the fact that these are the defualt times and Titanbet promises to lower withdrawal times, then they could get a lot faster than this. We're assuming that by the time you've withdrawn a few times, they lower security checks on each withdrawal and so the whole system becomes much more automated and therefore faster.
Get faster withdrawals with Titanbet!
Northern Lights Casino
Northern Lights Casino is a great all rounder when it comes to speedy withdrawals. Bank transfers are promised to be delivered within 1-2 working days, which is some of the fastest speeds you'll see in the industry.
Their e-wallet speeds amount to 1 working day and they cover both Skrll and Paysafecard. Their e-wallet range isn't huge, but combine that with a very fast bank transfer withdrawal service and Northern Lights is offering a lot more than most other mobile casinos can lay down.
Get a great withdrawal service with Northern Lights Casino!
Chomp Casino
Chomp Casino has a satisfactory withdrawal service for people who are in need of fast payment, but have a very specific method. Bank transfers are limited to a 3 day working period to process, so if you're looking for fast banking, then Chomp Casino doesn't specialise in that service.
When it comes to e-wallets, Chomp Casino offers a much faster service, but it comes at the price of variety. You get Skrill and Paysafecard withdrawal within 1 working day. It's fast, but when it comes to choice, there are definitely more varied options. But of course if you like the games they have on offer, then it's still a fast service regardless.
Get fast withdrawals at Chomp Casino!
The Fastest Withdrawals In The West
There's a ton of other mobile casinos out there who can offer fast withdrawals. But when it comes to single day service, there are very few who can boast that achievement. Most casinos have long processing times, often up to 3 working days, before the payment itself even begins processing.
There's a lot of busy work that goes into processing payments, with multiple security checks required so casinos can make sure your money is well handled. These were the casinos who have gone the extra mile and not let that affect your service.
They're fast, safe and offer a great range of games and withdrawal options. And for you cheque users, when they find a way to teleport cheques, we'll let you know.

The present invention relates to electrochemical plating, and more particularly, this invention relates to a paddle drive assembly for use in an electrochemical plating cell.
Electroplating is a common process for depositing a thin film of metal or alloy on a workpiece article such as various electronic components. In electroplating, the article is placed in a suitable electrolyte bath containing ions of a metal or alloy to be deposited. The article forms a cathode which is connected to the negative terminal of a power supply, and a suitable anode is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply. Electrical current flows between the anode and cathode through the electrolyte, and metal is deposited on the article by an electrochemical reaction.
In many electronic components it is desirable to deposit the metal film with a uniform thickness across the article and with uniformity of composition. However, the electroplating process is relatively complex and various naturally occurring forces may degrade the electroplating process. Most significantly, the electrical current or flux path between the anode and the cathode should be relatively uniform without undesirable spreading or curving to ensure uniform electrodeposition. Furthermore, as metal ions are depleted from the electrolyte, the uniformity of the electrolyte is decreased and must be suitably corrected to avoid degradation of the electroplating process. Also, debris particles are generated in the chemical reactions which can degrade the metal film on the article upon settling thereon.
Conventional electroplating equipment includes various configurations for addressing these as well as other problems for ensuring relatively uniform electroplating. Suitable circulation of the electrolyte is required for promoting electroplating uniformity, and care is required for properly aligning the cathode and anode to reduce undesirable flux spreading. For example, one type of conventional electroplating apparatus mounts the cathode at the bottom of an electrolyte bathing cell, with the anode being spaced above and parallel to the cathode. Since the article is at a common depth in the cell, the electroplating process is less susceptible to vertically occurring variations in the process due to buoyancy or gravity effects or other convection effects occurring during the process. For example, ion depletion in the electrolyte adjacent to the article will create local currents which will have a common effect along the horizontal extent of the article, but can vary vertically.
Also, in the electrodeposition of magnetic materials, e.g. permalloy, resulting gases are produced in the process which result in bubbles being generated at the article surface. Of course, bubbles are buoyancy driven upwardly, and horizontally positioning the article reduces adverse effects therefrom.
Enhanced uniformity in metal deposition is typically promoted by suitable agitation of the electrolyte in the cell. However, agitation by a unidirectional flow of the electrolyte is typically undesirable since it can cause monotonically decreasing mass-transfer effectiveness along the direction of flow.
Paddles positioned near the article are now commonly used to agitate the electrolyte in the cell. However, because plating is a long process, often occurring 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the paddle must run continuously. If the paddle stops, the article being plated may have to be discarded, leading to delays in production and expense.
Thus, reliability is a key issue in any wafer fabrication process. The most reliable prior art paddle drive mechanism is a slider crank mechanism. This is attributable to a non-reversing motor, operating in one direction at a single speed, and no need for limit switches or sensors since over travel is impossible.
The problem with this mechanism is that the base portion 135 follows a sinusoidal velocity profile, i.e., is not constant over the cathode 114. See
As shown in
It is more desirable to have a constant velocity over the object being plated. A constant velocity provides the most uniform film deposition.
The most common approach to achieving semi-constant velocity over the wafer is to use programmable motors, such as rotary motors with a worm screw, or linear conversion actuators. These motors provide a generally trapezoidal velocity profile. However, the problem with such drive systems is they are very complex, making them less reliable. This is true particularly in light of the long duty cycles involved in plating.
Programmable motors most often use steps or counts to determine position. If electrical noise causes the drive mechanism to lose (or gain) counts, the mechanism may travel too far, possibly impacting the cell wall, or not far enough and stall. To overcome this problem, the prior art has used limit switches. If a slider drive mechanism triggers a limit switch, the position of the drive assembly is reset to a default position before the drive is re-initiated in the desired mode. However, if this happens more than one or two times, the plating process may be adversely affected and the wafer may need to be discarded.
It is desirable to provide not only high uniform thickness and composition in an electrodeposition article, but also do so in an apparatus capable of reliable operation even when used for high-volume manufacturing. What is needed is a drive mechanism having the reliability of a slider crank with its non-reversing motor and absence of over travel and limit sensing requirements, with the functionality of programmable drive schemes.
The present invention overcomes the drawbacks and limitations described above by providing a paddle assembly having a paddle that moves in a bidirectional fashion for agitating solution in a container of a plating cell. A follower is coupled to the paddle. A drive mechanism rotates the cam. The follower engages a rotatable cam and is propelled along the cam as the cam rotates.
In one embodiment, a slider is coupled to the paddle. A guide is oriented parallel to a direction of movement of the paddle. The slider engages the guide and follows along the guide to help ensure linear movement of the paddle.
In another embodiment, the cam has a cylindrical shape. Note that this denotes the general outer shape, and can include a cylindrical, i.e., hollow, cam or a solid cam. The cam may have a lobe protruding therefrom. The follower engages the lobe, moving along the lobe as the cam rotates. Alternatively, or in combination with the lobe, the cam may have a groove therein. The follower would then engage the groove, moving along the groove as the cam rotates.
Preferably, the paddle moves across a wafer positioned in the fixture (cathode) of the plating cell at a substantially constant velocity. Ideally, an acceleration and deceleration of the paddle occurs over a thief region adjacent the wafer. In use, nickel and iron can be plated on the wafer, for example.
In an embodiment, multiple paddles are operatively coupled to the cam. In a further embodiment, the follower is positioned on a side of the cam opposite the container of the plating cell.
In yet another embodiment, a cross member extends across the container of the plating cell and is coupled to the paddle. Two sliders are coupled to the cross member towards opposite ends thereof. A second guide is positioned parallel the first guide. The sliders engage the guides for following therealong.
In a further embodiment, the cam is generally egg-shaped.
For a better understanding of the nature and advantages of the present invention, as well as the preferred mode of use, reference should be made to the following detailed description read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Prior Art
Prior Art
The following description is the best embodiment presently contemplated for carrying out the present invention. This description is made for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the present invention and is not meant to limit the inventive concepts claimed herein.
An anode 312 is also positioned in the container 304 and may be composed of wire mesh screening or solid plates. The anode 312 may be composed of inert platinum, solid nickel or of a combination of an inert Pt sheet and a Ni wire mesh.
The bath level during plating is above the anode 312, so the anode 312 is immersed in the bath during plating. The bath level is held relatively constant by a solution overflow lip 314 over which the solution flows. The bath is constantly replenished and its temperature is controlled by recirculation from a reservoir (not shown) where it is refreshed by dispensing acid, iron and preferably also Na Saccharin, Na lauryl sulfate and/or [Ni++] if needed and constantly stirred by a reciprocating mixer 316 otherwise referred to herein as a paddle 316, which travels back and forth above the surface of cathode 306 at an approximate distance of 1/32 to ⅛ inch for providing agitation of the bath with minimal turbulence.
As shown in
The paddle 316 is carried by upright arms 318 which are secured at their top ends to transverse member 320. Sliders 322 are coupled to the traverse member 320. Each slider 322 engages a guide 324 oriented parallel to the direction of movement of the paddle 316. One or both sliders 322 is coupled to one or more followers 326 that engage the cam 328 and are propelled along the cam 328 as the cam 328 rotates about the shaft 330 of an electric motor 332.
As shown in
The follower 326 can be any suitable mechanism that will follow the lobe 334 of the cam 328. For example, the cam 328 followers 326 can be essentially ball bearing devices, rollers, etc. In a preferred embodiment, the cam followers 326 are oriented on a side of the cam 328 opposite the container 304 so that the followers 326 are at the farthest distance from the plating solution to prevent corrosion and/or clogging of the followers 326 and related assembly.
When the motor 332 is energized, the cam 328 drives the paddle 316 back and forth with reciprocal motion that has a substantially uniform rate over the length of the substrate 308, with acceleration and deceleration occurring over thieves 404, also known as deflectors, on the cathode 306. The shape of the lobe 334 of the cam 328 is designed to provide a substantially constant velocity of the paddle 316 over the substrate 308 with a constant rotation velocity of the cam 328. See
Thus, a constant paddle velocity over the substrate 308 can be achieved without requiring deviation from a constant rotational velocity of the cam 328, even in the absence of limiting switches, etc. Total paddle travel is restricted to the length of the cam lobe, eliminating any need for limit switches or sensors since over travel is not possible. Further, the desired velocity profile can be obtained by changing the lobe shape.
The speed of the cycle (one rotation of the cam 328) can be changed by varying the rotation speed of the cam 328. By changing the velocity of the cam 328, the speed of the cycles of paddle movement over the wafer can be adjusted, but the same velocity profile shape is maintained. Likewise, new cams can be created for different sized wafers, providing similar results.
As a result of reciprocation of the blades 402 of the paddle 316, the bath solution near the cathode 306 is mixed thoroughly with a substantially laminar flow having little turbulence to avoid nonuniform polarization, while minimizing such things as the formation of a depletion zone which could lead to formation of an iron hydroxide precipitate with too high a pH and hydrogen evolution at the cathode 306 and avoids [Fe++] depletion near the cathode 306 since the solubility product of [Fe++][OH−]2 has much lower solubility than the solubility product [Ni++][OH−]2. In addition, mixing the solution minimizes pitting caused by the formation of H2 bubbles in the same spots on the surface of the cathode 306 at all times during electrolysis. The triangular cross-section of the blades 402 of the paddle 316 provides the set of confronting blunted apexes over which fluid flows with a flat base. In stirring, the fluid is forced to flow through the slot between the two blades 402 and over the upper blade 402 to mix with the bulk of the solution in the container 304. As the mixture passes through the slot, laminar flow at the cathode 306 surface is restored. The fluid entering the container 304 passes immediately through the slot when the paddle 316 is near the fluid inlet (not shown), and then the fresh fluid is carried along with the paddle 316 as it moves towards the opposite side of the container 304.
Consequently, films produced in the electroplating cell of this embodiment are uniformly thick throughout, and where metal alloys are being plated, the metal compositions which are normally a very strong function of the local current density will also be uniform over the entire film.
After performing the desired number of cycles, a home switch (not shown) can be used to stop rotation of the cam 328 such as when the paddle 316 is at one of the outer extremes of the lobe 334. For example, the cam 328 could stop when the paddle 316 is at the back of the container 304 to allow removal of the cathode and substrate 308.
According to one embodiment, the wafer is oriented vertically, where the paddle 316 moves horizontally or vertically along the vertically oriented wafer. Further, multiple paddles can be operatively coupled to the cam 328 so that all of the paddles move as the cam 328 rotates. Another embodiment may include multiple paddle drive assemblies coupled to the same cam and/or multiple cams.
As shown in
According to a further embodiment, shown in
To make a cylindrical cam 328 with a lobe 334, a process of multiple cycles of hardening and grinding a cylinder (or solid rod) can be used. During each hardening and grinding cycle, the cylinder is hardened then ground along outer edges of the lobe 334. As another option, the cam 328 can be cast. The lobe can also be manufactured separately and coupled to the cylinder such as by welding.
A preferred material from which to construct the cam is stainless steel, as it is very durable and is also resistant to corrosion that could be caused by exposure to plating material that has splashed or leaked from the container 304 and onto the cam. Preferably, the material is 400 series stainless steel, because it has properties amenable to hardening.
As should be apparent to one skilled in the art, the embodiments described above are more reliable than prior art systems. These embodiments have less parts and do not require reversing or varying a rotational velocity of the motor. There is no need for limit switches, as the paddle can only travel as far as the lobe permits. Further, these embodiments provide more control over the velocity profile of the paddle.
While various embodiments have been described above, it should be understood that they have been presented by way of example only, and not limitation. Thus, the breadth and scope of a preferred embodiment should not be limited by any of the above-described exemplary embodiments, but should be defined only in accordance with the following claims and their equivalents.

Unanswered: dependant field
i searched and could not find and answer to my Q.
table: field, field, field
table incidents: iID, route, location
table routes: rID, rName, rPath
table locations: lID, lName, lPath
route - rID
location - lID
rPath - lPath
i have three tables with the relationships illustrated above. i want to be able to select a routeName and limit my choices of locationNames on both the table and the form.
for the table i was thinking of something like:
SELECT locations.lPath
FROM routes INNER JOIN locations ON routes.rPath = locations.lPath
WHERE ((([Incidents].[Route])=[routes].[rNames]));
but that has not worked. for the form, i cutNpaste this to the rowSource. i then get a dialogBox with "enter parameter value" for "routs.rNames"
please advise

Hi bcoste1
Welcome to the forum
Check your post again - are these typos in your post or your source code? Your error message does not match the SQL and in turn the names of objects in the SQL do not match the earlier table definitions.

Ms. STABENOW. Madam President, on Thursday I voted for the Collins amendment No. 1660 to send a message that it is extremely important that Boiler MACT rules be done right. I have heard from manufacturers, paper companies, and the forestry industry all across the State of Michigan who rely on boilers in their plants. While I strongly support efforts to limit air pollution, I am concerned about the impact of the proposed rules as they are now written on manufacturing businesses and jobs in Michigan.
This amendment is certainly not perfect. I have serious concerns about certain provisions such as the changes to the health-based approach that EPA uses to set emissions rules. This amendment also did not reflect the positive changes that the EPA has already made to the proposed rules. It is my intent to continue working with the EPA as they write their final rules to address the concerns that have been raised by Michigan employers--large and small--and to give our businesses the time necessary to comply with these new emissions rules.
It is critical that the EPA draft rules that protect our environment while also protecting our jobs and our economy.

Dewey Moves Closer to Bankruptcy Filing
New York law firm Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP is readying a possible bankruptcy-protection filing for sometime in the next several weeks, said people familiar with the matter, a move that would initiate official liquidation of the beleaguered institution.
Departing Dewey
See how many of the firm's approximately 320 equity partners have left, and where they've gone.
Key Events for Dewey
See a timeline of the firm's history.
Dewey within the past week brought aboard an operational turnaround and restructuring firm to help the law firm collect receivables and attempt to return money to lenders and other creditors, according to the people familiar with the matter. Dewey's remaining lawyers and outside advisers are working to be ready to file for bankruptcy protection by the end of next week, though the actual filing could come well after, these people said.
Most of Dewey's partners, including its crisis leadership team, have left the firm over the past five months, as disputes over compensation and towering debts brought the 1,000-lawyer law firm to its knees. Many of Dewey's U.S. offices were closed or nearly empty in the past week, with 433 people laid off in New York alone, according to a notice filed with the state Labor Department.
Exactly how Dewey officially ceases operations remains under discussion and no final decisions have been made, the people said. Dewey lawyers have said recently that they planned to wind down without going through a bankruptcy court.
But a bankruptcy filing has become an increasingly likely option as Dewey's remaining employees and advisers huddle to chart Dewey's end game, one of the people said. Dewey will have to negotiate with landlords who could at some point move to seize office equipment in lieu of rent payments unless the law firm seeks bankruptcy protection, this person said. Dewey needs computers and access to offices to wind down, the person said.

A Dewey spokesman had no immediate comment.
Dewey tapped restructuring firm Zolfo Cooper in the past week for additional help winding down the law firm's operations. Joff Mitchell, a senior managing director at Zolfo, is now serving as Dewey's chief restructuring officer, said people familiar with the matter. Albert Togut, a bankruptcy lawyer at Togut, Segal & Segal LLP, would handle the bankruptcy filing, one of the people said.
Zolfo Cooper, meanwhile, usually helps companies restructure their operations, sometimes offering advisers to take interim management roles. The firm also enlists advisers to oversee defunct operations and develop plans for returning money to creditors. Stephen Cooper, one of the firm's namesakes, has alongside teams at the firm overseen Enron Corp. as it liquidated and film studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. before and during "prepackaged" bankruptcy proceedings. Mr. Cooper is no longer with the firm and isn't working on the Dewey situation.
Dewey owes $75 million on a $100 million credit line from banks led by J.P. Morgan Chase JPM -0.34% & Co. Distressed-debt investors have been circling around Dewey creditors in recent days to buy up potential claims—betting that they can nab them at discounts and get a better recovery when the law firm ultimately winds down.

Provide a Valuable Service to Automobile Owners
Individuals who are looking for a business opportunity in which they can provide a service that is helpful to people in their communities while having the freedom in owning and operating a lucrative business might consider one of the reputable automotive franchises like Meineke.
Company Support
Without company support, there is little advantage to owning a franchise as opposed to opening an independent shop. However, with the backing of a reputable company, franchisees can grow their businesses in ways they would never be able to do on their own. Being associated with the right company gives a new franchisee a head start when it comes to the reputation in the community. This is because of the familiarity actual and potential customers have with the national brand.

Choose any combination of 5 of the pound cheese bars below for this great bargain. Ordering the most cheese with a variety of flavors makes this choice of cheese packs your best buy.

Love all the flavors in one package! Smoked gets my vote!
Posted by Linda on 15th Jan 2015
Wonderful cheeses! We are huge fans of the Sage Cheese in particular and will continue to order it as well as working our way through the entire line until we've tried them all!
Posted by Alan Davis on 12th Jan 2015
When it comes down to it, we like all the cheeses from Sugar Bush, but there is no question. The Originally Naturally Smoked (Hickory and Maple) is our favorite. I even find my wife deciding to have it and crackers for her dinner. Not very healthy, but she loves it that much! (And as a doctor she should know better!)
Posted by SteveG on 13th Dec 2014
I hadn't had my fix of Sugarbush cheese for two days prior to today (Saturday, when I don't have to get up early) and I got up a 7 AM so I could have my daily fix of crackers, Sugarbush Farm's Cheese (Bacon, Vermont Light, Onion, Sage or Horseradish) and a big cup of coffee. I think it may almost be time to find a support group here in Texas so I can get together and enjoy my cheese with other people.
Posted by Lynn on 6th Dec 2014
The extra sharp is wonderful. Makes the best soup.
Posted by Steve Guss on 20th Sep 2014
Bacon and Cheddar is even better than the Salami and Cheddar which preceded it. We found our favorites (myself, Bacon and Cheddar and my wife, both the Horseradish and the Sage) and we buy enough so that we always have some in the house.
Posted by Chris Fish on 8th May 2014
We had a gift basket at work delivered and one of the products delivered was the Hickory an Maple Smoked Cheddar. DO NOT TRY THIS unless you wish to be hooked for life for which I am!! Dang you Sugar Bush Farm!!!
Amazing product, amazing flavor, you get what you pay for.
I used to hate cheese but products of this quality and flavor have me thinking..."what was I thinking?!!!"
You won't be disappointed!
Posted by Debbie from Chevy Chase on 7th Mar 2014
One of our favorite Sugarbush cheeses. It has just the right tang of smoke without being overwhelming. Melts well and pairs well with foods from eggs to burgers.
Posted by Ron Hubbard on 26th Feb 2014
Visited the farm a few years ago and have been ordering syrup and cheese ever since. My friends often ask "got any cheese lately?"
Posted by Larry Davis on 24th Dec 2013
my girlfriend and I visited your Farm this late Oct and enjoyed our tour and bought a lot of syrup and cheese. Well I had to order more smoked cheddar. its the best! I am back in Alaska now and will be excellent for the holidays. Merry christmas

Spotlight: Mural project aims to hide downtown crater
Sun., Aug. 10, 2014
People have wondered for six years about the pit at the corner of Third and Division in downtown Spokane that was once called St. John's Lutheran Church. After the century-old building was torn down to make way for a hotel, the economy collapsed. To this day, it looks as if the entire worldwide economy cratered right where that church once stood.
This week, Spokane Arts put out a call for proposals to create a temporary public mural that will be displayed there, giving motorists entering Spokane from a busy Interstate 90 off-ramp something to look at besides a hole in the ground. The Mobile Mural Project, as it's called, will commission up to 60 different artists to create 240 feet of art to hide the blight. The project is a collaborative effort among the city of Spokane, the Downtown Spokane Partnership, and Spokane Arts.
"It's a very visible, public way for artists and community groups to get their art out there," said Shannon Halberstadt, executive director of the Spokane Arts Fund. "These types of mobile murals are a way to create a visually pleasing barrier, as well as offer a place to express ourselves culturally."
The project has 60 panels available, each 8 feet tall by 4 feet wide, and artists may submit proposals for works of up to eight panels. Halberstadt said the mobile mural project will be open to a wide range of artists.
"We're really looking for a good diversity of expressions," she said.
The work is mobile, so it will be temporary only in terms of location.
"The lot is up for sale," said Halberstadt. "We all hope that somebody is going to purchase the property and re-develop it. In that sense, I hope the murals aren't there for very long. We can take those murals when they're done for other construction sites."
Proposals must be submitted by Aug. 25. For more information, visit SpokaneArts.org.

Blue skies and symphonic music
The symphony is stuffy, right?
People get dressed up, head to a fancy concert hall and listen to beautiful music written hundreds of years ago.
But if there's ever a chance to have your assumptions tested, it's this month, as the Spokane Symphony goes outdoors.
First up, the symphony heads to a bluff above the Spokane Valley for two Soirees on the Edge at Arbor Crest – on Wednesday and again on Aug. 20. Enjoy wine with works by the grand masters W.A. Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven, as well as American composers John Orft and Michael Gandolfi, Valentine Silvestrov, Haralabos, Jan Jarvlepp and Pablo de Sarasate.
Tickets – $20 for general admission, $40 for table seating – are on sale through all TicketsWest outlets. Arbor Crest is at 4705 N. Fruit Hill Road.
Once again, the symphony will spend Labor Day playing for free in area parks. They'll be at Liberty Lake's Pavillion Park on Aug. 30, and Spokane's Comstock Park on Sept. 1. For details, visit www.spokanesymphony.org.

Thirty minutes later, names will be drawn at random and the winners will be able to purchase discounted tickets. Regular prices range from $45 to $154, and they're available through TicketsWest.
The Tony-winning musical opens Tuesday and runs through Aug. 17. For details, visit www.bestofbroadway spokane.com/.

Ritual and Ritual Tradition in Zoroastrianism
"Homo Ritualis: Ritual and Ritual Tradition in Zoroastrianism"
A talk by Shervin Farridnejad (Berlin/Vienna).
Monday, 23 January 2016, 06:30 PM, Österreichische Orient-Gesellschaft Hammer-Purgstall Dominikanerbastei 6/6, 1010 Wien.
This talk is the third and last of a talk series "Kulturwissenschaftliche Iranforschung", organized as joint events by the Institute of Iranian studies (IFI) at the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and the Österreichischen Orient-Gesellschaft Hammer-Purgstall, Vienna. The talk will be in German.
Rituals play a prominent role in Zoroastrianism, one of the oldest continuous religions of humanity. The importance and practice of the Zoroastrian rituals extend over a wide range of social and local environments, from houses to fire temples as well as from antiquity to modernity. While the sources for exploring Zoroastrian rituals in pre-modern times are predominantly confined to traditional and priestly texts, we have a broader set of sources for modern and contemporary times, including the living ritual tradition of priests and laities. The lecture deals with the presence and importance of the rituals as well as the ritualistic traditions in Zoroastrianism.

Achaemenian Palaces and the Zoroastrian Ritual Surfaces
"The Old Iranian Absolute Frame of Reference.
To the Orientation of Achaemenian Palaces and the Zoroastrian Ritual Surfaces".
A talk by Kianoosh Rezania (Bochum).
Monday, 9 January 2016, 06:30 PM, Österreichische Orient-Gesellschaft Hammer-Purgstall Dominikanerbastei 6/6, 1010 Wien.
This talk is the first of a talk series "Kulturwissenschaftliche Iranforschung", organized as joint events by the Institute of Iranian studies (IFI) at the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and the Österreichischen Orient-Gesellschaft Hammer-Purgstall, Vienna.
For the orientation in space and the linguistic expression of spatial relations of objects, different coordination systems can be used. One of these systems utilizes fixed cardinal directions. The four compass points north, south, east and west constitute the cardinal directions of our absolute frame of reference. Did the Old Iranians employ the same frame of reference likewise with these compass points?
After the representation of different coordination systems, absolute, intrinsic and relative, the paper addresses the Old Iranian absolute frame of reference. By means of the orientation of Achaemenian palaces, the order of countries in the Old Persian list of nations as well as Avestan linguistic evidence, it will be demonstrated that the Old Iranian people did not used our todays compass points for their orientation in space, but employed a different absolute frame of reference. The paper will present the cardinal directions of this system.
You can download the whole program of this talk series here.
Kianoosh Rezania is a professor of Western Asian Religious Studies at the Center for Religious Studies (CERES) of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum.
Zoroastrianism: Religious texts, theology, history and culture
Zoroastrian theology, cosmology and cosmogony, history of the faith, its rituals and ceremonies, Avestan and Middle Persian texts, festivals such as Nowruz, Mehregan and Sada, and a host of other topics, hitherto dispersed amidst other entries in their alphabetical sequence in the Encyclopædia Iranica, are gathered together here under one cover. The volume enables the readers to chart their way through complex traditions and debates throughout history, and brings into focus the interdependence of these pioneering contributions. As a thought-provoking and authoritative work of reference, it is a testimony to the fine scholarship and remarkable erudition of its contributors, scholars who have been foremost in ensuring that the Encyclopædia Iranica maintains its high reputation for authoritative comprehensiveness and pioneering research.

Zoroastrianism: History, rituals, theology and tradition
The volume edited by Kioanoosh Rezania brings together seventeen articles by Philip Kreyenbroek on the subject of Zoroastrianism. The collection represents the author's most important short contributions on that subject, written over a period of more than 30 years. Although the papers are concerned with a range of different subjects, they are to some extent interconnected, and in several cases one may find lines of argument emerging in one article which the author develops in subsequent papers.
The papers cover six important aspects of Zoroastrianism: History; the Zoroastrian tradition and its oral transmission; Cosmology, Cosmogony and Eschatology; Priesthood; and Ritual. Topics discussed there include the history of the Zoroastrian tradition in various periods; the mainly oral nature of the Zoroastrian religious tradition until well into the Islamic period, and some of the implications of this for our understanding of that tradition; Kreyenbroek's views and hypotheses on the nature and origin of the Indo-Iranian and Zoroastrian cosmogonies; the various developments in the structure of the priesthood, particularly during and after the Sasanian period; and lastly various questions concerning the Zoroastrian ritual, which are informed by the author's extraordinary familiarity with the Zoroastrian ritual literature.

Teeth Whitening
What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a process of lightening the color of your teeth. It is also referred to as "teeth bleaching".
The most common side effects of teeth whitening are increased sensitivity to temperature and irritation of the gum tissue.
Teeth whitening at home
Teeth whitening at home involves utilizing at-home tray-based teeth whitening products. Home teeth bleaching systems utilize a clear plastic tray that is filled with whitening gel and then placed on and slipped over the patient's teeth. The bleaching tray is then worn for multiple hours per day (or else overnight), for some weeks, while the effects of the teeth whitening process take place.
Teeth whitening at the Dental Office
If you are interested in having your teeth whitened by a dentist, there are a few things you should consider before beginning treatment.

In many countries around the world, universal access to education is a seemingly unattainable dream; however, determined individuals with vision and drive have made this dream come true for many. This book highlights people such as Okello, a former child soldier in Uganda, who founded a school for children like himself whose education was derailed by war; Julia Bolton Holloway who realized that the only effective way to educate Roma children was to teach literacy to their parents at the same time; Shannen Koostachin, a passionate 13-year-old whose fight for the right of First Nations children to have proper schools endured even after her untimely death. These uplifting stories of people who were undeterred in their fight to bring education to children will leave young readers with excellent models of how to mobilize support when fighting for social justice.

April 1, 2014
Isn't it remarkable how just about everything in life boils down to communication, or lack thereof? Well, it appears that things don't change too much when we cross over either.
At the end of a recent evening of spirit, we opened the floor to questions and answers from the audience. A woman put up her hand and asked a really good question: "How come communication with spirits is so difficult or unclear? You would think that if they wanted to communicate with us then the information would come through clearly?"
You would think, right? Although mediumship is a science concerned with evidencing the existence of life after death … it's not an exact science unfortunately. And communication does vary widely.
I've thought about the woman's question a lot since that night and here's my take on what I think is going on …
Some spirits, as with people in the physical world, are simply not the best communicators and so don't say very much. If they didn't say much in life, why should we expect them to change drastically when they cross over? Coupled with that, they have to work with the tools they have in their figurative toolbox ie the medium in front of you.
If the medium is not very experienced then communication can be difficult, it takes a long time to build up a 'vocabulary' where a spirit can show the medium something, for them to understand it and pass it on correctly. And therein lies the problem. If a medium tries to over interpret what they are receiving, there's a danger that the message is 'lost in translation' and goes off in a totally different direction, ending up making little or no sense to the receiver. It's like learning a completely different language, and one that is not necessarily all about 'words'. Its complex.
Most mediums are trained to 'give what they get' and not to analyse on behalf of the recipient or pad out the message with other vague 'fillers'. When this happens, it can make a meaningful message sound well, meaningless and unrecognisable. It's frustrating. Even if the message is really short and direct, it is best left unfiltered by the medium. At the end of the day, the message is for the recipient and it's up to them to interpret the meaning not the medium.
The other problem of course is language, spiritual language that is or perhaps I should say method of delivery. If spirits communicate in a certain way and mediums communicate in another it can be tricky. I'm talking about how mediums receive their information and by that I mean the 'Clairs' which we covered in the first edition of our newsletter.
For our newer readers, here's a quick recap: Clairvoyance is where the medium sees things (eg the spirit form itself, images, faces, photos, objects, symbolic references, written words etc). Clairaudience is where the medium receives information through hearing (normally a spoken voice or songs). Clairsentience is where the medium receives information through feelings or sensations (eg emotions, pain in certain parts of the body, symptoms etc which help you to identify the spirit). If your spirit prefers to send messages visually and he is working with a clairsentient medium then … "Houston we have a problem!!"
I suppose, in this techno filled world, we could say it's a bit like sending a text message with a photo attachment or music file to a blind person who reads Braille with their fingers!!
Most mediums use a mix of the Clairs but tend to be dominant in one. If they are predominantly clairsentient with a bit of vision, then the spirit can shout as loud as they like but only part of the message might make it through. With so much going on all at once, you can understand how difficult interpreting spirit communication might be!
People often come to platform events, or in deed readings expecting to hear from a particular loved one and are often quite surprised and reluctant to hear from someone else instead. Mediums do not summon the dead, they merely communicate spirit's messages when they are ready to communicate. We have to accept that sometimes there is no message to pass along and the one person we long to hear from at that moment may not be available or ready to communicate with us at that time. We have to be patient and open minded about who and what comes through.
As mediums we are trained to seek a range of evidence about the spirit we are communicating with. These are known as validations. We try to get as much as possible including names, descriptions, significant dates, specific events going on right now in the recipients' lives, manner of death, essence of personality, you name it, anything and everything we can to help you identify the person coming through.
Sometimes this catches you by surprise and you may not immediately recognize the person coming forward. Just relax, allow the information to come through for you. What the spirit describes as significant to them may not be immediately significant to you at the time but it might come back to you later. We call this psychic amnesia and it happens all the time!
Some people forget their own name when they are put on the spot never mind the name of their relative or friend who has passed!
But one thing that I do personally find especially frustrating is where a medium is describing someone they are getting and they give about ten pieces of validation – everything is spot on (or pretty much) and then one thing is slightly off. So, let's be clear, nine things are correct, one is ambiguous and the recipient decides that it's all a load of rubbish!!
Now I don't know about you but if I was hoping to hear from a 'Josie' and the medium called her 'Jessie' … and everything else was pretty darned close, then that would be good enough for me!!
While we do welcome healthy skeptics, to be deliberately negative or obstructive spoils the night for everyone else and, of course, makes the skeptic look pretty dumb too. It's not up to the medium to convert the recipient, it is merely their job to pass the message along. What the recipient wants to do with it after that is entirely up to them.
It should also be said that not everyone needs a long winded message from a loved one to know that they came through. For some people, all they need to hear is one word, one specific word that proves to them that their loved one was there. This one word can be completely meaningless or cryptic or even downright weird to the medium but it means the world to the person receiving the message. This happened to me recently when I asked for an example from spirit what a one word message might be, instantly I received the word "Rose". I got no further information with the word, and had no idea whether it was a name or a flower but gave it anyway.
As it turned out, another lady at the end of that same evening came to me and asked why I had chosen the word "Rose" and so I explained again, telling her I'd asked spirit for an example. Rose was her mother's name and she had come along hoping to hear something from her mom. As soon as she heard her mom's name, that was 'the one word' she needed. She knew her mother had come through for a visit. It's great when that happens and who knows, maybe next time she'll stay a while and speak up!

The truth is out there...
Mediumship is all about providing evidence of life after death, that our loved ones carry on after they have left the physical world. Sitting with a medium can be a wonderful experience when we receive validations of our loved ones coming through such as their name, significant dates, a description of what they looked like, their relationship to us and a meaningful message but science also has a few other interesting methods of gathering proof that you may have come across already through popular TV shows like Paranormal State and Britain's Most Haunted.
Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) are recordings of voice or voice-like sounds that are not audible to the human ear. The frequencies of these sounds are reportedly well below the range of sounds that can be perceived by the human ear. Typically, but not always, they are short having a length of only one word or a short phrase. Common sources of EVP include static, stray radio transmissions and background noise.
I experienced EVP about a year ago when I visited a local medium for a reading. I decided to record the session with a digital recorder that I bought for the occasion. The medium herself did not record readings for her clients but was not opposed to the session being recorded.
Throughout the reading she gave clear and accurate information. She then began talking about a close friend of mine in Scotland and confirmed that she was not married which was true. That in itself wasn't such a big deal, however, it wasn't until much later that evening when I listened to the recording with my husband that the hair on the back of neck (and everywhere else for that matter) stood on end!! There, on the recording was a voice I did not recognize, a gruff but crystal clear older man with a Scottish accent also confirming the fact that my friend was not married – he said simply "that's right!" There was no-one in the room during my session apart from myself and the medium and I was not aware of any noises other than our conversation at the time.
A famous case in 1959, was where Swedish painter and film producer, Friedrich Jürgenson, was recording bird songs. Upon playing the tape later, he heard what he interpreted to be his dead father's voice and then the spirit of his deceased wife calling his name. He went on to make several more recordings, including one that he said contained a message from his late mother.
There are a number of simple scientific explanations that can account for why some listeners to the static on audio devices may believe they hear voices, including radio interference and the tendency of the human brain to recognize (or try to make sense of) patterns in random stimuli and of course there is always the chance that some recordings may be hoaxes created by frauds or pranksters. But what if our loved ones really are talking to us ..?
The concept of EVP has had quite an impact on popular culture. It is popular as an entertaining pursuit, as in ghost hunting, and as a means of dealing with grief. It has influenced literature, radio and films such as Sixth Sense, White Noise, The Changeling and TV shows such as Ghost Whisperer, The Omega Factor, A Haunting, Ghost Hunters, Paranormal Files, Supernatural and Derren Brown Investigates to name but a few.
Investigation of EVP is the subject of hundreds of regional and national groups and Internet message boards. There's been a boom in ghost hunting ever since the Internet took off. Investigators, equipped with electronic gear—such as EMF meters, video cameras, and audio recorders—scour reportedly haunted venues hoping to capture visual and audio evidence of ghosts. Many use portable recording devices in an attempt to evidence EVP.
Orbs are another relatively modern phenomenon – those odd 'balls' that appear from time to time in our snapshots. Orbs are believed (by many) to be the human soul or life force of those that once inhabited the physical plane here on earth. No doubt you have many photos with an orb or two in them. Skeptics speculate that they are dust particles illuminated by a camera's flash, but what of the orbs captured outside in the daylight such as the photos above?
It is a well known fact that our spirit friends and family enjoy hanging out at our get togethers and parties – wherever people are having fun and are full of energy – so it's no surprise that often party photos are covered in orbs a bit like spotty wallpaper! Our spirit folk love to be around children too and are drawn to their fun and radiant energy. And think about it, manifesting as a small ball of light is bound to take a lot less energy than manifesting as a fully formed figure … and is a lot less likely to frighten the life out of you!!

The sunflower has been the emblem of Spiritualism since 1892. The Association of Spiritualists in Lily Dale, New York adopted the sunflower as its seal, as shown in its constitution and bylaws, adopted in early 1893.
The height of the sunflower protects plants and flowers nearby and protects them from the harsh weather. Spiritualism can be expressed similarly. It protects people from the superstition that prohibits spiritual growth, and provides them with a solid foundation on which to build a firm understanding of why they are here, what they must do, and where they are going.
The sunflower also has medicinal value and contains nearly a complete balance of all natural vitamins and minerals. The seeds and oil are beneficial to the birds and to mankind. Spiritualism stresses the value of spiritual and physical healing. Therefore, the motto of Spiritualism is:
As the sunflower turns its face to the light of the sun,
So Spiritualism turns the face of humanity to the light of Truth
The sunflower is a perfect symbol for spiritualism because the blossom is always seeking out the light. Symbolically, this is spiritually akin to the heart/soul of humankind always seeking and attaining unity with the light of faith and keeping a connection with the Source of one's own understanding.
The sunflower is also likened to the life that surrounds a person. The figures that surround a sunflower coincide with what surrounds a person. Sunflowers have seven branches that stand for the seven days in a week and twelve leaves for the twelve months in a year. Each of the branches also usually gives life to three sunflowers, which are believed to stand for the Holy Trinity. And each of the sunflowers has 52 yellow petals, which stands for the 52 weeks in a year. And at the center of each flower, there are 365 seeds, just as there are 365 days in a year. The sunflower's very nature also reflects something that Spiritualist believers suggest we do, which is to turn to the light.
The sunflower can grow in almost any type of soil. Rocks, clay and loam will not stop the seed from sprouting, providing it has light and water. So too with Spiritualism. Spiritualism is not status-driven and requires no special talent, secret ritual or lengthy preparation to participate

The idea of assisted suicide or the act of ending one's own life by their own hand is totally wrong. The reason for this is that mankind has never been able, and will never be able to create life out of nothing. Man and woman can procreate on a physical level but life is given to the physical entity by a far superior power than mankind. This powerful force is known to us as God, Spirit, the Infinite Intelligence, The Universal Source or Creator. Therefore we do not have the right to destroy this Life Force which is our Spirit, the real you.
If Man could create life out of nothing then maybe, and I strongly stress maybe, he would have the right to take it away. As a species we have evolved greatly and we live in a world of great abundance and because of the wonderful advancement of modern Technology our lives and the world we live in has become very convenient, but have we come to a stage where it is more convenient to end someone's life than for the caregiver to continue to do the hard work of looking after the sick and the elderly with compassion and love.
If so, then we would be setting a very dangerous precedent by creating a loophole for people to commit legal homicide. No Doubt there would be a portion of society that would take advantage of such a loophole to end someone's life for mere convenience sake. If we condone such an act of assisted suicide then I believe as a society we will be taking a huge step back in our evolution both spiritually and physically. This certainly is not progress.
We have the evidence of the magnificent power of our Creator all around us if we would only take the time to observe and examine it. By this, I mean for everyone to ask the questions, such as, where did it all come from and how did it all come to be. Take nature for instance. Our world is filled with an abundance of animals, birds, trees, flowers and our oceans are brimming with a magnificent array of different and stunning life forms. Where did this all come from, who created it. Take a flower or a tree for example. Mankind has never and will never be able to make a tree or a flower.
The intricate design of a tree and the magnificent patterns, beautiful and exotic colours and fragrances of a flower are awesome and a beauty to behold. The greatest architects and engineers of our world are incapable of building or making a tree or a flower that is totally natural. This is impossible for them. We can plant the seeds of these beautiful pieces of nature and with care, sunshine and rain they will grow and blossom but they were created and given life Eons ago by that same universal power, our Creator
.This was written with Spiritual and Scientific knowledge, common sense and love and respect for all life.

Welcome to WACC's Project List 2016
Many people and communities throughout the world are taking advantage of the opportunities offered by new information and communication technologies, but also by new legislation that supports the development of community media. However, poor and marginalized people are often excluded from these processes by geographical location or lack of resources and skills. Many groups – especially women – are also silenced by social structures and cultural traditions.
WACC tries to help such people and communities by supporting small projects that take a rights-based approach to communication and information as part of a strategy to address other development challenges. It does so in the firm belief that only if communication is participatory can it empower individuals and communities, challenge unequal political, economic and cultural structures, and help to build a more just and peaceful world.
For 2016 WACC is proud to be forming partnerships with 39 groups in support of their work to strengthen communication rights. These one-year projects — described in our current Small Projects List — will bring people in many countries closer to WACC's vision of "Communication for All."
Our local partners need your help. Many of the projects are partly supported by a donor whose funding is conditional on a second donation. WACC may be able to match, or double or even triple a contribution from another funding partner. Therefore, we very much welcome both partial and full support for our 2016 projects. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like further information.

Robert Pattison, Dylan Penn seem to be more than friends
There's a chance that Robert Pattinson and Dylan Penn, daughter of Sean and Robin Wright Penn, are more than just friends. Rob and Dylan were very "touchy-feely" when recently spotted at The Viper Room before leaving together at around 1 a.m. Where did they go? They hit up the Chateau Marmont Hotel, and then headed back to Rob's house, Hollywood Life has learned. This comes just after Rob was connected to Elvis' granddaughter Riley Keough. But then again, Rob has been working out with a gorgeous brunette the past few days, so it sounds like he has been pretty busy.
Tina grins and bares it
Tina Fey had fun joking about her Emmy nip slip while shooting a promo with Kenan Thompson for this weekend's "Saturday Night Live" season premiere. After Tina announces she's hosting, Kenan says, "There will be no more wardrobe malfunctions like there were at the Emmys . . . I mean, unless you want to do one. I think it would be funny." Tina crosses her arms, and says "No, Kenan. It's not going to happen again." As she unfolds her arms and puts them up to say, "It's under control," her blazer opens revealing that she's wearing nothing underneath.

Settle's rep dismisses Rutherford romance rumours
Settle split from model wife Naama Nativ last month (Feb10), and branded the break-up a "tragedy".
America's Star magazine claimed he had found comfort in the arms of Rutherford, who is currently embroiled in a number of bitter court battles with her estranged husband.
A source told the publication that Rutherford and Settle "were all over each other" at a recent party in New York and "now that they're single, they're going for it!"
But Settle's representative has refuted the claims, telling GossipCop.com the report is "not correct at all".
