More African American entrepreneurs are making the headlines highlighting their business success. Follow the example of those on this page who are successful in e-commerce.
It has been said that the internet levels the playing field. That is probably true, but in any case, we are finding more and more black entrepreneurs successful in the wired world of the internet.
Who is an entrepreneur? It is the person that comes up with a good idea (on a topic for which you have a passion), presents it in a comfortable, professional manner, builds trust, does the technical things that are required to be captured by search engines and provides content that their readers what. That person can be successful on the web.
That is just the case with these individuals, as each has discovered the best business to start to meet each of their needs and provide great information and material to others. Each of the following African American entrepreneurs have websites that are in the top 1% of all websites.
JJ has always been passionate about cooking soul food, which he learned from his family. Soon his family and friends encouraged him to do more great cooking. Later in the military he had the opportunity share his knowledge and cooking with many that had not experienced it before. His solo food and southern cooking was a hit.
Trying to meet the demand for requests, he starting providing cooking instructions until that process became overwhelming. Based on his wife's recommendation, he created a website, Soulfoodandsoutherncooking.com.
And what a success in the top 1% on the web. Locate his site on the list of top websites.
Michael Holland founded Home-decorating-made-easy.com. He is also the president of ImagineQuest Information Products, Inc. His website focuses on providing unique ideas that can transform homes and apartments into well decorated spaces in less time.
He felt there was a strong need for a decorating reference that was comprehensive, but also had your questions and thought in mind. He has done a great job with this idea and has created quite a business.
He can be found in the listing of successful owners in the top 1% of the internet here.
Lisa Irby is the owner/operator of Flat-stomach-exercises.com. When she decided that she wanted to lose a few pounds and tone her body, the process began. She tried several techniques including an 8-minute tape that did no good. She realized that you cannot just spot tone.
She learned the best way is to eat healthy, drink lots of water and exercise regularly. She found the way to do it and began sharing her ideas and routines on her website.
It has done so well that it has earned her a spot on the list of top websites.
These are examples of real African American entrepreneurs that followed their passion and build e-businesses. The way to approach is through a solid foundation of a model in Solo Build It! 2.0 that works.
The Solo Build It model has been very successful, especially when compared with other web development tools. such as Yahoo Web Hosting Pro and 1+1 Websitebuilder Plus. If you still have questions and want to learn more without any obligation, please feel free to contact Solo Build It staff and owners here, to answer you questions.

Barbara has become our official model for all finished projects. Thanks Barb! Here is Elaine's finished Gaptastic Cowl. Looks good!
Elaine finished a beige alpaca hat (on her lap) and she started another Gaptastic Cowl in brown. We are so happy to have Elaine back again.
Now Barbara is modeling Kathleen's finished Amsterdam Lace Shawl. It's an adaptable pattern which you can knit in any weight yarn and any size so here Kathleen made it bandana size. It's a very memorizable pattern that easy to knit.
Kathleen's fingers were busy as usual so she added another pair of mittens to our inventory.
And here she is working on another cowl. We're going to have many warm necks this winter!
Liz finished her version of the Cushy Cowl. She used a super bulky yarn which gave it nice body but it's a killer on the hands and wrists to knit so her next project will be a softer and lighter weight yarn.
Barbara found a pretty heathered green yarn which will become a hat and matching fingerless mitts.
And Cinzia started a Nymphalidea Scarf. After she knitted this far into the project she noticed a dropped stitch and offered to rip it back to fix it. Instead I suggested she just thread a needle with the same yarn and weave it back into itself so she doesn't lose knitting time. You'll never notice it within the colors and pattern. And if I can avoid ripping it out I'll find a way to make it work.
Our evening group worked on cowls and scarves too.
Carole's Cushy Cowl is almost done...
And Maureen did the bind off on hers tonight.
Beth is almost done with her scarf.
But I still have quite a way to go on my striped scarf.
Last week I finished my Cushy Cowl. I have 4 other projects on needles which need to be finished. Maybe by next week I'll have a completed project to show you.
DH and I took a very short vacation to Williamsburg, VA to visit the historical sites; Jamestown, Yorktown, and Williamsburg Village. I learned a lot from very entertaining park rangers. We had great weather until Sunday when we went to Dewey Beach in Delaware on our way home. We were told there was a storm out at sea and it caused the waves to be powerful.
There's DH watching the clouds roll by.
To say it was windy was an understatement! But the water was very warm and there were people swimming and body surfing all along the beach.
By 4PM the dark rain clouds were replaced with pretty puffy clouds and blue sky started showing through.
We were back at the beach by 8:45AM on Monday and the morning was glorious!
As you can see it was beautiful on the sand. I really didn't want to leave.
I met all sorts of creatures both small and ...
friendly. That's Diesel. He truly enjoyed his romp on the beach.
But all too soon it was time to say goodbye to the sand and surf.
So now I have my photos to remind me how much I love the ocean. It's where I really feel at home.

One of the largest differences between Restoration Contractors of America and other competitors is our ability to problem solve. You may wonder why that would be an important factor when it comes to restoration, but, it is a very important factor when determining the fortitude of a company.
Whether it be damage from a fire, the mysterious origins of mold, damage to a roof system, or just a plain water leak, each of these categories can be problematic.
Bring out a normal company, and a normal company will provide you with an estimate for replacement. Bring RCA out and we think outside of the box.
Outside the box in this case would be the true cause and origin of the problem. Once the cause is determined, to what extent is the cause of the issue and to what extent is the responsibility and liability to replace that of the property owner, the manufacturer, or the insurance company.
In one scenario, a property owner called RCA out to consult and inspect after their insurance had denied their claim of water leaking from inside the roof into their home. After our inspection, and the submittal of our detailed scope of loss, the verdict was overturned in the homeowner's favor as we were able to successfully point out that due to the fact that one occurrence of wind blowing a tree, and thus penetrating the decking, which then allowed the water to enter, and argument that the roof was too old for coverage was no longer valid.
Another scenario, RCA asked to prepare an estimate to replace 12 building of built up roofing because the roof had been installed incorrectly and was leaking. After our inspection and report, we were able to get the manufacturer of the material to cover half of the replacement costs, and the insurance company to cover the rest, saving the property owner thousands of out of pocket dollars.
We look at each job from the standpoint that we want to fix the problem, not treat the problem. If we can define the correct cause, then the possibility of moving some of the costs to other parties such as insurance companies and manufactures is more tangible.
Our expertise is working to find the correct solution and to help define true liability to the cause. Additionally, we perform exceptional work and when an issue or dilemma arises, we handle it. It is wise to measure a company not solely on it's bottom line but how it handles challenges when they arise.

So armed with a little caffeine, some fun slides and a happy smile, I bounded into the room to fully energize the most detailed thinking people I've ever encountered.

Butterflies use their proboscis to get nectar from deep in the flowers rather than surface pollen, so when choosing plants a small trumpet shaped flower is often preferred. Native wild flowers are valuable nectar plants.
Most butterflies are not around till June, but for those that might be feeding in Spring (just coming out of hibernation) the following are good sources of nectar: Aubretia, Bergenia, Blue Bells, Honesty, Pansy, Primrose, Wallflowers, Willow, Forget-me-nots and Violas.
Best Shrubs - Buddleia, Escallonia, Syringa (Lilac) Berberis, Kolkwitzia, Lavender, Rosemary, Honeysuckle, and Hebe . All of these have tubular or trumpet-like individual flowers.
Best Perennials - Verbena bonariensis, Aster - Michaelmas Daisy, Cowslip, Echinops ritro - the Globe Thistle, Hyssop, Marjoram, Origanum, Sage, Agastache, Kniphofia - Red Hot Poker and Sedum, Chives, Phlox, Purple loosestrife.
If you are trying to encourage butterflies to lay their eggs in your garden then the following plants need to be planted: Common Nettle, Common Rock Rose, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Dog Violet and a selection of grasses.
Attracting Bees
March to October are when the bees need nectar, so if possible provide a couple of plants that will be in flower at the same time from March onwards. Many native plants that have single flowers are good sources of nectar.
Best Trees - Crab Apples, Hawthorns, Flowering Cherry, Pussy Willow, Apple, Pear and other fruit trees.
Spring flowers - Bluebells, Daffodils, Helleborous, Heathers, Forget-me-nots, Ajuga, Saxifraga, Flowering currants and Pulmonaria.
Early summer flowers - Aquilega, Antirrhinums, Astilbe, Campanula, Comfrey, Fennel, Foxglove, Geranium, Hebes, Lavenders, Potentillas, Teasles and Thymes.
Late summer flowers - Aster, Cardoon, Buddleja, Single flowered Dahlias, Fuchsias, Monarda, Penstemon, Scabious, Sedum and Verbena Bonariensis.

JennyLynn2525ParticipantDecember 11, 2017 at 12:54 pm #159702
So I've been dating this guy for over 2 months now. He's taken me out on about 5 dates.We have been intimate with each other. We are both single parents, his daughter being older knew who i was previously. I on the other hand have a 12 yr old daughter. So after him asking if she would be home when he would come to pick me up or come over. I finally told him that I didn't want to introduce her to him until something was more permanent. That was my way of also finding out where things were going to. His response was that we need to see where things go and he needed to spend more time with me. A week later he took me to NFL game and over night stay. So I initiated that we spend time at my house together the following weekend. He text to say he would be late as he was having dinner with some of his family. And then cancelled completely saying he didn't feel like going anywhere. I didn't hear from him but noticed the same night he deactivated his facebook. continued…
JennyLynn2525ParticipantDecember 11, 2017 at 12:58 pm #159705
continued from above….
I also noticed he quit looking at my stories on Snapchat. So last Friday I decided to text him. He said he was doing fine and we talked about him giving the rain check from last week this coming weekend. this took about three hours over time. Kinda of like he was pre- occupied. He said he would like to do something this coming weekend either day. Well when I responded with i didn't care whichever day was better for him. He hasn't responded since. What should i do next? Just wait for him to text me? or is he not interested?
Louis RichardsParticipantDecember 11, 2017 at 2:59 pm #159718
I think you should give up
jessicakParticipantDecember 11, 2017 at 3:29 pm #159723
The worse thing we girls can do is start chasing a guy.You showed that you are interested, now it's his turn to act right.
sadlifeParticipantDecember 25, 2017 at 9:38 am #160972
He doesn't sound interested, for whatever reason. Don't chase him, if he's interested he will contact you.
monkeymom82ParticipantFebruary 20, 2018 at 8:48 am #165958
Please don't contact him again! If a guy is interested you will not have to question if he is!
Daydreamer920ParticipantFebruary 20, 2018 at 10:35 am #165969
I would not contact him, you already made the effort to reach out to him, you need to gauge his interest by letting him make the next move. Don't chase him.
dare7ParticipantFebruary 21, 2018 at 6:46 am #166074
Something is going in his life that he doesn't want you to be a part of and he seems to be cutting ties with you. If he was truely still interested, he would make an effort. I would give up and move on.
TiadavisParticipantFebruary 21, 2018 at 11:55 am #166116
yeah i think you should give you as he isnt making effort
annalbParticipantMarch 2, 2018 at 11:04 pm #166773
The best thing to do when a guy doesn't respond is to just let it go. It definitely is a red flag. I recently just stopped seeing this guy because he never texted me back it was for sure a one way street.
GreatCreatorParticipantMarch 4, 2018 at 9:28 am #166780
Only you can say if its worth it.Always consider long term factors.Can you see him benefiting your and youra family life's years from now and vice versa
davidakjParticipantMarch 4, 2018 at 7:41 pm #166789
Just let it go! It takes two in a relationship and it doesn't seem like he's that interested
jbj1965ParticipantMarch 5, 2018 at 3:28 am #166790
I understand where you are at… I would not send any more texts or chats. It's hard, I know but let it go.
dwade09ParticipantMarch 6, 2018 at 9:50 am #166842
It sounds like you should move on, if he really wanted you, he would have kept in contact and not have cancelled things. He would have kept going with you and seeing you and accepted your decision in when you chose for him to meet your daughter. it sounds like he really didn't want to wait anymore and decided to move on and doesn't have the balls to actually tell you.

- IT WORKS: Fits all standard Dolce Gusto machines
- NO PARTICULATES: Finer filtering with paper filters
- MORE CREMA: Create rich crema with My-Cap's unique Crema Disc
- FAVORITE: Create capsules with your favorite coffee
The My-Cap Filters are designed to be used with the Reusable Capsules for Dolce Gusto Brewers. The filters help reduce the particulates in the coffee and the crema disc increases the crema produced in the brew. The reusable capsule and filters together allows you to fill your own Dolce Gusto capsules. Fill them with your favorite coffee and reuse them many times before they have to be thrown out. This lowers the cost to brew each cup and also gives you better brews each time. In addition, you will be reducing your environmental impact. Each time you reuse a capsule, you reduce the cost even more on a per-cup basis. The more you use them, the cheaper they get.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How many times can this filter be reused?
A: A couple of times if reused right away.
Q: What is this filter made out of?
A: High grade food safe paper.
Q: What is this crema disc made out of?
A: High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS).
Q: Does this product contain BPA?
A: This product is 100% BPA free.
Q: What type of coffee should I use?
A: You should use an espresso ground coffee. If you like weaker coffee, grind it coarser and use less. If you like it stronger, grind it finer and use more.
Q: It is hard to press the handle down. Is this a problem?
A: Yes. You should not have to use excessive pressure to close the brewer with this capsule. DO NOT FORCE If you have to apply pressure to close the brewer the pin may not be aligned properly. Open it back up and check. My-Cap is not responsible for broken machines.
Q: Do I have to use the paper filter?
A: No. The capsule has a built in stainless steel mesh which works well. The paper filter provides additional level of filtering to remove finer particulates from the brew. It is also required if you use the Crema Disc.
Q: Do I have to use the crema disc?
A: No. The capsule will produce some crema, but not as much as an original Dolce Gusto capsule. If you want to get the kind of crema you get with a Dolce Gusto capsule you will need to use the crema disc.

Millard Kaufman just published his first novel. He's 90 years old, and says he wrote it to stay out of trouble.
By Dale Keiger
When Johns Hopkins Magazine last spoke to Millard Kaufman, A&S '39, he had just published Plots and Characters: A Screenwriter on Screenwriting, drawing on 50 years of experience in Hollywood. Kaufman was the co-creator of Mr. Magoo, plus a two-time Academy Award nominee for screenplays (one of them for the acclaimed Bad Day at Black Rock). A funny, profane, self-deprecating raconteur, he was also 82 years old. So we did not anticipate talking with him again eight years later to mark publication of his first novel, Bowl of Cherries (McSweeney's, 2007). Bowl of Cherries is the comic death-row testament of a 14-year-old erstwhile PhD student named Judd Breslau, who improbably finds himself awaiting execution by ganching in Iraq. Ganching involves being flung from a significant height onto sharpened stakes, and that may not sound like comedic material, but Kaufman's book, from first page to last, carries the risk of rendering the reader helpless due to giggling fits. His publisher notes that the novel "is packed with renegade Egyptologists, libidinous ranch hands, excrement speculators, and grenade-toting Israelis," and that summary makes no mention of the experiments in levitation by tuba or Judd's encounter with the girl of his dreams in a New York porn studio. Johns Hopkins Magazine called Kaufman at his home in southern California, where he had so much fun writing his first novel, he's at work on a second one.
First, how did you find your way to Johns Hopkins
What did you study?
After Hopkins, you headed to New York and became a
copyboy at the Daily News. Did you intend to become
a reporter?
What did you love about it?
After the war, you decided to stay in
How'd you find your way into screenwriting?
What was the experience like as a writer working for the
studios in those days?
How much of what you wrote actually ended
up on the screen?
What happens in pictures is usually you follow a batting average not unlike a ballplayer. If you get one script on screen out of three tries, that's pretty good. I was fortunate enough to do even better than that. The studio thought it was rather unusual for a guy to get an Oscar nomination the first time out, so they made a deal with me which I accepted because it involved a lot of money but was a pain in the ass. There are a great majority of movies that teeter on the edge of being made or being dumped, and sometimes it's a difficult decision whether a given piece is going to turn out to be something that's worthwhile. So they brought me in when they had things like that, and a lot of what I did was rewrite a lot of this stuff to get it on screen.
Was it creatively satisfying?
You'd read a lot of novels at Hopkins as an English
major, and continued to read them afterwards. When did it
first occur to you to write one yourself?
You told Michael Silverblatt, the host of public radio
station KCRW's Bookworm, that your first
inclination was to write poetry.
But what got you started on a novel?
Did you have a model in mind while writing
Bowl of Cherries?
|"Despite what Hemingway said, instead of using short simple words, I like to use the apposite word, no matter how fat or big or ugly it is, if it gets me where I want to go," says Millard Kaufman.
Did you start with a scene, or a line, or a line of
I actually started with a sentence still in the book: "If you look closely at a detailed map of Iraq" — something like that. ["If you look closely at a detailed map of Iraq, you'll find somewhere to the south, between the western shelf and the equally monotonous eastern plain, the province of Assama, a flat depression in the shape of a chicken."] I just went on and on from there and wrote about twice as much as appears in the book today, most of which I took out because I was just rambling. I think I had a vague story in mind, which is basically the story of the book. But as you know, as a writer, somehow or other you narrow things down and you just do it. It came relatively easy for me. I liked the idea of writing a narrative, rather than a screenplay that's primarily dialogue.
I like to make things up. People have asked me how many times I've been in Iraq and stuff like that. I've never been in Iraq! And I don't intend to go there. I made a lot of it up, including inventing cities and that sort of thing, which I find kind of fun. I don't know what I'm doing talking about "fun" when I'm 90 years old, but I do.

cast that's a real collection of loons and misfits

Part of what you seem to be doing is having great fun
with the language, employing words like "chalcedonic" and
"nepenthe" and "ithyphallic."
You've said that the dialogue came easy, but the rest
was hard. Did the dialogue come easy because of your
screenwriting experience?
How do you think Bowl of Cherries turned
And apparently you came out of the experience interested
in doing it again?
What kind of trouble would you get into?
You've been treated in the popular media as something of
a novelty, the nonagenarian who just published his first
novel. Are you tired of that?

Service Learning Trip – Pisac, Peru July 7 to 14, 2014
The trip will cost $1,5oo and will include visits to ancient Incan sites including Ollantaytambo, Saksaywaman, Tambomachay, and Machu Picchu. Cost includes park entrance fees, in country travel, meals, lodging, and training certificate. It does not include travel to and from Peru. Passport is required.
Service Learning Work will take place at the Kusi Kawsay School
The educational institution, Kusi Kawsay in Pisac, Peru confronted a challenge with the 1st promotion of students that graduated in 2012. The students come from families with low financial resources, even with all the good education and values they've gotten at Kusi Kawsay, have to confront a hard reality. In Peru, the discrimination and the lack of financial resources determine the destiny of many people.
In this case the student's parents will have to send the kids to look for jobs in construction or anything that could represent an immediate way of income that could support the family's maintenance. These youthhave much higher capacities with a mentality of leaders and an entrepreneur capacity that makes of them a hope and a model to revitalize and recuperate our culture, but they could easily end up with their dreams frustrated by being forced to start the same life of "survival" perpetuated for generations. Being conscious about this reality we would like to give them a last impulse with this farmer project, a way to generate an income that will also give them time to keep studying if they want or stay working with this company of which they will be collective owners instead of eternal employees.
The vision of the project also includes a percentage of the profits that will go to support Kusi Kawsay School and to keep on growing and giving new opportunities for the kids of future promotions.
This project will dignify the word "campesino" or farmer, which became so pejorative in our country.
Let's prove that it's possible for a farmer with cultural identity to succeed not just with an emotional well being in harmony with his environment but also achieving in a tangible way, a worthy economy that will provide him with all he needs and more in order to keep sharing and living in reciprocity.
Another positive aspect of the project success is that will inspire others to find creative solutions instead of migrate to the cities where they will get to know the real misery in all the word senses.
Production of Organic vegetables and natural by- products
· A variety of greens for a delicate "mesclun" that will be offered to many gourmet restaurants and hotels of the area and the organic basket of veggies for the families
· Medicinal plants for making essential oils and herbal preparations
· Tinctures, soaps, shampoo, natural detergent, ambient purifiers.
· Dehydrated fruits and energetic bars
And when the project consolidates we can start to offer programs and workshops for people that want to learn by living a real experience of Andean Agro centric culture.
· Direct participation on organic agriculture activities
· Conferences on Agro centric view of the world.
This center will grow with the energy given by its members.
It will be also always exposed to the local people with the intention of inspire and promote our native crops and the models of production with communitarian ethics based on the rich cultural legacy left by our ancestors.

Seeking Comfort? Try An Air Bed Mattress
Not every individual needs the same kind of comfort every night. Back conditions can vary and be more troublesome some days than others. This kind of flexibility does not exist with the traditional mattress and can result in the individual simply resolving themselves to the fact they will not receive a good sleep on that particular night, but with an air bed mattress, that is one fact that does not have to come to light.
Air bed mattresses conform around the body that supports those places needing support. This can have a positive impact on pressure points that traditional mattresses that are too firm will interfere with. The air bed mattress allows the individual to adjust that firmness to achieve the right support.
What's great is that the market contains a wide array of air bed mattresses that can meet any budget, which is also dependent upon the material of the mattress and what different options are available. No matter what, it is hard to put a price on good sleep.
MattressNextDay is probably the largest mattress superstore on the internet. Selling a wide range of mattresses from leading manufacturers, we can offer quality mattresses at fantastic prices. Our next day delivery service is free or, if you prefer, you can select your own delivery date. Take a look at our range of mattresses now at www.mattressnextday.co.uk/mattresses, or call us on 0333 0069 769 for more information.

What is it for?
Like any press up exercise this one is primarily for the chest muscles (pectorails major – .) focusing on the lower portion of the muscle. It also works the triceps and your core muscles (the stomach, back and hip joints – .). So why use the ball? We use the ball to add uncertainty and balance to the exercise. This makes the press up exercise far harder and involves more muscles. It works your chest and triceps more by being that more difficult. It works your core far harder than a standard press up due to the 360 degree movement from the ball. Finally it works your shoulders which are recruited as stabilisers against the ball's desire to move away from you.
…and only for the experienced
As the ball is always wanting to move away from you in all directions you have to use all your usual press up muscles and your shoulder muscles, not only to complete the movement but to control the movement of the ball. A very hard exercise and perhaps one for the experienced exerciser only.
This exercise is not easy and it is very important that you do it with perfect technique as injury is just around the corner if you go into it too casually.
The equipment you will need is: a Swiss Ball (aka fit ball and exercise ball – .), a pump to make sure your ball is completely inflated and a non slip floor so that the ball can roll but it cannot slip from underneath you. As an option I would advise a mirror to check your technique and a training partner to help stop the ball from rolling away from you and causing you an injury.
Pump your ball so that it doesn't give under your bodyweight. We want it inflated as much as possible so that its bottom doesn't go flat under your body weight which makes it too easy for you as it won't roll about as much. Also if the ball is slightly deflated it will put a lot of pressure on your wrists; with a fully inflated ball the pressure on your wrists will be far less.
To get into the start position you need to stand with the ball in front of you. Get your hands about shoulder width apart on the ball with your palms facing slightly inwards, as though you are trying to hold the ball rather than rest on the ball and have your fingers pointing down towards the ground.
Now get down on your knees (still holding the ball – .) and move backwards and up to get yourself into the press-up position making sure that your arms are vertical, straight and your chest is directly in line above your hands. Your body should be straight (use a mirror to check this – .) from your shoulders to your feet. You should be on your toes which should be the only part of your body in contact with the ground. You are now in the start position.
In this start position you are probably feeling a little unbalanced and this is where it is good to have a training partner at the ball end to stop any large movements. They should have their hands on the ball and allow small fluctuations of movement but anything more than a few centimetres should be stopped by placing their hands firmly on the ball.
Now for the movement; it should be slow and controlled which means no dropping down onto the ball and using the inevitable bounce to help you get back up. The downward movement should be slow and controlled, quickly adjusting for any ball movement. Allow your elbows to move slightly out to the side and behind your shoulder line. When your chest comes into contact with ball it is not a sign to rest on the fit ball, there should just be the smallest of contacts before you push yourself back up to the start position in an equally slow and controlled manner. Where, of course, you have completed one repetition.
If at any stage you feel like you are losing control and the fit ball is about to roll away, drop to your knees and take your weight away from the ball, this will help prevent any unnecessary injuries.
Breathing is going to be very difficult during this exercise especially if exercising with a fit ball is new to you. However it is very important that you do breathe, apart from the obvious benefit of keeping you alive, it helps to keep the mind calm and alert and the muscles fed with oxygenated blood which will help you complete more repetitions before fatigue hits you. So breathe in on the way down and out on the way up.
It is also going to be difficult to keep your body straight, to help you achieve this it is important to activate your transverse abdominals. To do this you need to suck your stomach in and up and hold it throughout the movement. This will help give you added core strength.
Personal Trainer Malta a press up onto a swiss ball fit ball exercise ball showing the start and finish positions
The Do's
Make sure the fit ball is fully inflated
Use a non-slip floor
Get a friend to help you
Grip the ball with your hands facing down and shoulder width apart
Get down on your knees and step back into the start position
Position your chest vertically above your hands
Keep your body completely straight
Slow movement both down and up
Drop to your knees if you lose control
Breathe in on the way down and out on the way up
The Don'ts
Don't play around on the fit ball you can really injure yourself
Don't even attempt this if you cannot complete at least 50 normal press ups
Don't just drop down onto the ball
Don't rest on the ball at the lowest point
Don't hold your breath
Don't use a deflated ball
Don't attempt this on your own
In Your Program
Press-ups on the fit ball are a great exercise to add to any program whether you are trying to lose weight or trying to gain muscle mass. You can have it as a regular addition to your workout or use it as a strength test. Whether you are using it just as an exercise, or as a strength test, I would always recommend that you complete as many repetitions as you can in a row with perfect technique and in a slow and controlled manner. As soon as the technique drops then you must stop. Then you can rest and try another set or leave it at that and try to beat it next time.
In most exercises there is a guide line to show you how many repetitions and sets to complete for different goals, but you also have the ability to change the resistance. With press-ups you can't easily or safely change the resistance and so this is why I personally feel that the "press up till you have to stop" method is the best for this exercise.
This is a very intense exercise where you will need all your strength and control, so for that reason I would always have it near the start of your workout.
And a Warning
This is a very hard exercise and should only be attempted by people who have good upper body strength and can complete at least 50 normal press ups with perfect technique. If you are carrying an injury of any kind or have weak shoulders or upper body joints do not attempt this exercise. Similarly if you have high blood pressure or heart issues do not attempt this exercise. Last, but not least, make sure you are safe. Have a floor mat to land on if you fall, where possible always drop to your knees and take the weight off and away from the ball as quickly as you can.

Friday Afternoon Forecast Update – 2pm
May 31, 2013 Leave a comment
Good Friday afternoon to you! A few scattered storms are developing on radar as of 2pm, as temperatures continue to heat up. The best chance of scattered storms today will occur over west Alabama, where there is a 30% chance of rain at your house. Storms won't last long today, as they will be rather small and are moving north at 30mph. There is lots of tropical moisture in the atmosphere over Alabama, so any showers that develop will produce heavy rain. The risk of rain will die out after 8pm this evening.
Saturday will feature weather much like today. We can expect partly cloudy skies, with the risk of afternoon storms. The chance of rain across all of west and central Alabama stands at 30 to 40% on Saturday, so not everyone will see rain. If you have an outdoor event, have a backup plan incase a passing storm moves over your area. Much like today, storms won't last long in one spot.
A cold front will arrive on Sunday, which will bring a good chance of rain and storms. I don't expect rain all day or any severe weather issues, but rain is possible at any time during the day. The best chance of rain and storms will occur during the afternoon, but I can't rule out some morning rain, especially along and north of I-20. Highs will reach the middle 80s on Sunday.
Skies become sunny on Monday and Tuesday as dry air moves in from the north. Highs will warm into the middle 80s on Monday and upper 80s on Tuesday.

New Look
A New Look at Question Bridge: Black Males
When OMCA decided to re-install Question Bridge: Black Males this fall, the curatorial team reflected on how the work has evolved in the five years since it was first presented. "We had to ask questions like: What has changed since we first showed it? How do we improve upon the original experience? And why is Question Bridge: Black Males so important right now?" explains Director of Exhibition Strategy and Senior Curator of Art René de Guzman.
The five-screen video installation, created by celebrated artists Chris Johnson and Hank Willis Thomas in collaboration with Bayeté Ross Smith and Kamal Sinclair, had a highly successful run at the Museum in 2012, as part of a national presentation of the project. Visitors were deeply moved by the work, in which some 150 African American men discussed the Black male experience in the United States, with astonishing candor and vulnerability.
"Question Bridge: Black Males clearly had a profound impact on visitors," de Guzman says. "People kept telling us that it was a honor to witness these conversations, which they'd never otherwise hear."
With such feedback in mind, OMCA decided to rethink the visitor experience in its current installation. The Museum placed comfortable seating in the gallery, for example, so visitors could spend more time observing the installation. Additionally, subtitles were added to the videos, making them more accessible to a wider audience.
Yet perhaps the biggest difference—and a driving force in the Museum's decision to acquire and re-install the work—is the fact that our times have changed so dramatically in the past five years. In the face of today's polarized political and social landscape, with issues of intolerance, racism, and isolation flooding the news, Question Bridge: Black Males offers inspiring messages about the power of human connection.
"The interesting thing was that people who were not Black and not men responded to the humanity expressed in Question Bridge," de Guzman says. "The Museum recognized the importance of showing people that conversations like this will help us understand each other better. What could be more important than that?"

Question Bridge: Black Males is sponsored by the Bay Area Video Coalition and supported in part by a grant from the Open Society Institute: Campaign for Black Male Achievement, The Tribeca Film Institute, the Sundance Film Institute's New Frontier Story Lab, the LEF Foundation, The Center for Cultural Innovation, UPM, DualStar Digital, and The California College of the Arts; and in collaboration with transmedia production partner Innovent, Inc. and general production partner farWord, Inc.

Booksellers love to recommend books to our customers. It's a thrill to see a book we enjoy going home with an enthusiastic reader and to know that it's found just the right reader.
If you come in and talk to me in the next few weeks, I'm going to chew your ear about Kitchens of the Great Midwest. I fell in love with this novel last year, and I am pretty sure you will, too. It's a smart and inventive novel that also manages to be a fun pageturner. You might read it on the beach, but you won't feel like you're just filling your mind with junk food.
Kitchens of the Great Midwest is the story of Eva, a Midwestern girl who grows up to be a world-class chef. Along the way, you'll meet a range of foodie types, from the rural to the rarified. J Ryan Stradal roasts them, but only to bring out the best in his cast of characters. This is a gentle satire, and you will enjoy seeing the culinary world through Stradal's kind eyes. I can't recommend it enough.
(And if I've already talked you into reading Kitchens of the Great Midwest, then ask me about The Jesus Cow. That's another great tale from the middle of the country and another perfect summer read.)

Coachella turned down chance to book Kate Bush
Claims made in 'New Yorker' feature
Coachella reportedly turned down the chance to book Kate Bush.
Coachella 2017 takes place this weekend (April 14 – 17) and the weekend after (April 21-23) in Indio, California. Find out how to live stream the festival here.
A new feature in The New Yorker offers a behind-the-scenes look at the inner-workings of the festival, with it claimed by Marc Geiger, head of music at the William Morris Endeavour agency, that Coachella rejected the idea of booking Bush because people wouldn't "understand" her.
"'I'll say, 'Kate Bush!' And [Coachella CEO Paul Tollett will] go, 'No!,' and we'll talk through it. I'll say, 'She's never played here, and she just did 30 shows in the UK for the first time since the late seventies. You gotta do it! Have to!' 'No! No one is going to understand it.'"
Kate Bush returned to the stage in 2014 for 22 shows in London, her first live performances since 1979.
Bush recently spoke about her lengthy hiatus from performing live, telling The Independent: "It wasn't designed that way, because I really enjoyed the first set of shows we did [in 1979]. The plan at the time was that I was going to do another two albums' worth of fresh material, and then do another show."
She continued: "But of course, by the time I got to the end of what was 'The Dreaming' album, it had gone off on a slight tilt, because I'd become so much more involved in the recording process.
"And also, every time I finish an album, I go into visual projects, and even if they're quite short pieces, they're still a huge amount of work to put together. So I started to veer away from the thing of being a live performing artist, to one of being a recording artist with attached visuals."

I spend a decent part of my day dreaming of what it would be like to take a nap. When you have kids, mornings come too early. Either the kids jump on your face to wake you, or you get up a little early to steal some alone time.
No matter what you do during the day, you'll be exhausted. Work is tiring, chasing kids is tiring, exercise is tiring. Being an adult is just exhausting.
There are some mornings I contemplate calling a babysitter.
"Hey, so-and-so, it's Kate. Are you free to watch the kids today? No, I don't have an emergency or anything. I just really want to nap."
But, like most adults, I soldier on, operating on less sleep than the general recommendation, a short sleep that is nearly always interrupted by a child who needs a drink of water and felt the need to wake me up so I can get it even though I put the cup right by his bed and said, "Here is your water so you don't have to wake me up."
I so desperately want a nap some days that it may be starting to cause some resentment between my 3-year-old daughter and me. She no longer takes regular naps, but sometimes she will fall asleep in the car or while sitting at the table mid-PB&J. I'll carry her to her room, put her in her bed and stare longingly at her, wishing we could trade places.
I then return downstairs to play with my son and to enjoy the next hour or so, because I know what's coming:
The waking up.
The terrifying hell of a toddler waking up from nap she didn't expect to get.
Do you know what I would be like if I could take a nap for an hour? I would wake up singing! I would seriously morph into a cartoon and slide down rainbows with a smile so bright it could replace the sun. If I fell asleep in the car on the way home from picking up my son from school – provided that I wasn't at the wheel – I would wake up so refreshed and so happy that I actually got some sleep! Look at me! I'm bouncing and energized and ready to take on the rest of the day!
But a 3-year-old waking up from a nap? Opposite. So opposite.
That screaming child sets aside the fact that she has been in a blissful snooze for two hours and instead focuses on making sure that Mommy knows that there is NOTHING she can do to get her to calm down.
"Want an applesauce pouch?" I sweetly ask.
"NO!!!" she shouts, red-faced and tears streaming.
"How about I put on a show?"
"Noooooooooo!" she wails.
"Want me to just hold you, sweetheart?"
Her head turns all the way around, "Exorcist"-style, she curses, and then she vomits on me.
Well, not really, but it may as well happen because my last question has pushed her so far over the edge that she is now on the ground yelling something at me that is completely intelligible.
"You want to ride in a car with Vin Diesel? Oh, you want to watch the show with the silly weasel? You're secretly in love with that von Trapp kid, Liesl? Please, child, just take a breath, calm down and tell me what you want."
"Blargin fir dar enda beezul!" she screams.
I throw my hands in the air, throw myself on the couch and throw my own silent mental tantrum.
After 20 or so minutes, she stops crying and curls into my lap. I stroke her sweaty hair, kiss her head and whisper, "Yes, I know, it must be so hard taking a nap."

Funny… Every time I shoot a wedding, I come prepared with a little sheet with all the info I'll need for the day. It has the names of everyone in the wedding party and bride and groom's families, a shot list, a timeline… Often the toasts by the Best Man and Maid of Honor are done right before or after the cake cutting, and I don't always know which will be first. So in my schedule sometimes it looks something like this:
8:30 – Cake and toast
Which kinda makes me laugh, because I think of them serving little plates with freshly toasted bread next to a slice of cake. Okay, maybe it isn't funny "ha-ha". Anyhoo…
Today I have pics of the toasts and cake cutting from Sylwia and Hector's wedding. So much emotion, so much fun.

Brand new parents end up faced with lots of crucial choices when it comes to purchasing products for his or her baby. Be it your first period or if you're buying brand new stuff for any second and even third kid, you're going to need to choose from an array of products available on the market. Naturally, you would like to know how to invest where this counts as well as save where one can. Given this perfect, should you truly invest in the greatest organic baby crib mattress to your nursery?
Obtaining the best natural crib bed mattress out there isn't very cheap, so you need to think lengthy and difficult about this choice before you grab your budget or your charge card. After all, apart from a understructure you'll also must buy the cribs itself, linens, a baby keep track of, diapering materials, and all another essentials that the child will require when he gets there. Nevertheless, your own crib king size bed is not something which you want to bargain on. Here are a few reasons why you need a good organic and natural mattress for your young one.
1 . Wellness. Babies devote a good deal of moment asleep within their cribs. This runs specifically true if you intend for your children to spend the night time in his crib rather than during sex with you. Even though you co-sleep at first, chances are your son or daughter will expend a good section of the day nap time, and later upon playing, within his baby bed. An organic cot mattress is actually healthier compared to one made from synthetic components because it consists of no dangerous chemicals which will out-gas or even release with time. Since these types of chemicals happen to be linked to illness and developing problems within children, it is best to keep your child away from all of them.
2 . Comfort and ease. There's a reason pure 100 % cotton and bed linen sheets are thought luxurious. You simply can't refuse the fact that top quality natural supplies are more comfy than inexpensive synthetics, particularly when it comes to bed linens. Natural fibers in the foundation core permit air to flow within the raised air bed, and natural and organic cotton ticking keeps infant cooler whilst he rests.
3. Affordability. A good organically grown mattress may cost around $250, and the much more high-end kinds can cost just as much as $500. An artificial foam bed furniture on the other hand can be as low as 50 dollars. Yet considering the health dangers to your youngster as well as the high quality you're obtaining, then it seems sensible to go all natural.

Het 2004 jaar van Barolo en Barbaresco is erg goed. James Suckling noemt het zelfs een moderne 1996…
I had dinner last night in the Piedmont village of Treviso, at the restaurant La Ciau del Tornavento, with about two dozen producers of the best Barbarescos and Barolos. They were all there, from Bruno Rocca to Domenico Clerico to Enrica Scavino. What was a little hard to understand, though, was how quiet they've all been regarding the 2004 vintage. I hadn't heard much of anything since I was in the region a few weeks before they started harvesting in 2004, and what I remembered was that the vintage produced very good quality (perhaps even outstanding) wines, as long as growers were careful with their grape crop levels. In the course of many subsequent visits, few spoke of the wonderful quality of that vintage. I guess they were more concerned with the weak 2002, and the spotty but still very good 2003.
I think it's now time for them to speak a little more about 2004! In fact, if I were them, I would be telling the world.
I tasted about 70 Nebbiolos from the 2004 over the last two days in blind tastings in the region, and I have to say that I fell in love with many of the wines. As I noted after my visits to Aldo Conterno and Bruno Giacosa, the 2004 Barolos and Barbarescos are wonderful young wines. They're so attractive and balanced that they beckon you to taste them – even drink them. They are extremely aromatic, with bouquets of ripe, floral fruit, and concentrated, with caressing tannins and loads of fruit. I like to compare them to 2000, but they have slightly more prevalent tannins. Perhaps it's better to describe them as a modern 1996, where they have the same concentration as that classic vintage, with rounder and more refined tannins.
Here are the top wines that I tasted yesterday in an official blind tasting for the magazine: Azelia Barolo San Rocco, Bruno Giacosa Barolo Le Rocche del Falletto, Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Asili, Domenico Clerico Barolo Pajana, Giacomo Grimaldi Barolo Le Coste, Luciano Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne, Massolino Barolo Vigna Rionda, Paolo Scavino, Barolo Bric dël Fiasc, Paolo Scavino Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata Riserva, Roberto Voerzio Barolo Brunate, and Silvio Grasso Barolo Ciabot Manzoni.
There were another two dozen wines that I scored outstanding, and another two dozen or so at very good to outstanding. Obviously, the 2004 vintage is an excellent one for Nebbiolo. Of course, I did not taste all the Barbarescos or Barolos from every producer. I simply asked them to send me samples of two or three of their favorite wines in the vintage. The Barbarescos will be out on the market next year, while the Barolos will be out beginning in early 2008. I will taste them in bottle before their release in blind tastings in my office in Italy.
At dinner, I sat next to Chiara Boschis, who makes a wonderful Barolo Cannubi under her family's label Pira, and she didn't think that it was strange that very little has been said about this excellent vintage for Nebbiolo.
"We are like that here," she said. "We would rather have the wines speak for themselves."
They have certainly spoken to me about quality.

Two killed in Mother's Day tragedy
South Arm Highway crash
Two people have been killed in a two vehicle crash on the South Arm Highway at Lauderdale.
The crash occurred at around 5.30pm last night (Sunday the 14th of May) just prior to the intersection of Forest Hill Road.
The crash occurred when the driver of a green Subaru station wagon travelling south lost control and crossed to the incorrect side of the road. The Subaru traveled passenger side first into the path of a north bound Ford Ranger.
The Subaru was being driven by a 45 year old man from South Arm with a 48 year old female passenger from Dodges Ferry killed instantly in the crash. The Subaru driver was treated at the scene by members of the public, but he died at the scene.
The driver of the Ford a 31 year old man from Howrah received minor injuries and was taken to the Royal Hobart Hospital for treatment before being released.
The road was blocked in both directions for a number of hours, before being reopened at around 10 o clock last night.
Police would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the crash, which brings this year's state road toll to 8, compared to 18 at the same time last year.

I'm full-time Director of Music for a church and still have a handful of piano students, but I must say that I've been enjoying my new found free time. For 10 years I worked 3 or 4 jobs and almost killed myself doing so (literally). It's great to have some time to relax and check out what's happening here. I've missed y'all!

I have been shopping at JC Penney for the last year rebuilding my home and have put inspirational messages that I bought in the JC Penney homestore in Wheaton Maryland. My kitchen is filled with these momentums of Faith, Love, and God.My sister asked me where I bought these and I told her JC Penney and she said did I read about JC Penney.She told me about the book TGIF and I searched this on the internet. I have signed up and am truly blessed with this information and will have all four of my sisters and daughter become involved with this.I am just like JC Penney and have gone through adversity and am 56 years exactly the age that JC Penney was when he came out on the other side with God's blessings and guidance.I thank you Os Hillman for leading us to this and I thank God for leading me to JC Penney during this last year of rebuilding my home.Allyson Shields

Level III+ Spartan AR550 Armor
We've taken our Level III Body Armor to a NEW level! Spartan Armor Systems™ is pleased to introduce our AR550 Body Armor! With a 10% increase in ballistic core hardness, our level III+ AR550 armor defeats higher velocity threats such as XM193, M855, and M80! We're special rifle threat validated!
Our AR550 armor hits the "sweet spot" in the Brinnell Hardness (BHN) range. With a core hardness of approximately 545-560 BHN, we have found our ballistically rated variant of AR550 that we use is perfect for defeating higher velocity threats, while not exposing the armor plate to extreme stress due to forming.
Our AR550 Level III+ armor has our GEN2 lower cut radius. With a 10% increase in core hardness, this ballistic grade steel perfectly hits the "sweet spot". It's much harder than AR500, but not too hard to cause severe stress while forming.
Our AR550 Spartan Body Armor now has the option of Advanced Triple Curve (ATC). An industry FIRST! Spartan Armor Systems™ is proud to be the FIRST in the industry to commercially offer triple-curved AR550 body armor. With higher velocity rifle threats commonly present throughout the United States, we've developed this AR550 armor to specifically defeat some common threats such as 5.56 x 45 XM193, 5.56 x 45 M855 /SS109 and 7.62 x 51 (.308 Winchester) at a rated velocity of 3,100 fps or less. Additionally, we've successfully defeated these threat profiles from Close Quarters Battle (CQB) distances…repeatedly!
This armor comes as a pair, meaning you will receive both front and back plates.
Chest Plate Weight (per plate): 10x12 AR550 Shooters Cut: Base Coat 8lbs 1oz.
Thickness: .25" AR550 plus approximately .25" coating makes this slim profile plate overall .5-.6" in total thickness
As with all of our AR550 Armor products, we only use the highest grade of AR550 to manufacture our armor! Remember, not all body armor is created equal!

I've decided to create a reading blog to show my students at a Toronto boys' school-- who are frequently reluctant readers-- the delight in reading.
Monday, November 14, 2011
ALICE BLISS by Laura Harrington (2011) Viking Penguin, 306 pages
Alice Bliss is fourteen and will experience a lot of firsts in the next year: she'll learn how to drive, she'll feel the blush of first love, she'll manage to nurture a garden on her own, and she'll figure out how to survive her father's deployment in Iraq where he is so many thousands of miles from home.
With experience I've had facilitating children's groups for Bereaved Families of Ontario, I know both Alice and her younger sister Ellie's behaviour to ring true. Alice wears her dad Matt's shirt to feel closer to him, a continuing bond. She's furious when her mom launders the shirt, because now it won't smell at all like her dad's unique blend of "Sawdust. Wood smoke...Aftershave. Linseed oil." There is also the need for these girls to protect the surviving parent from further hurt as the children often become the caretakers when the dynamic shifts.
Before his departure, Matt is pragmatic. He shows Alice an envelope with "some important numbers. The VA so you can get benefits, my lawyer, my life insurance" and assures her that this information is "like carrying an umbrella in case it rains, and then it doesn't rain." This gesture reminded me of these frank lines from Frances Richey's poem "Inventory" about her son serving in Iraq:
Officer Record Brief
Hazardous Duty Orders
Zero Your Weapon
He's given me his dog-eared copy of Komunyakaa's
"Neon Vernacular," underlined:
"We can transplant broken hearts/
but can we put goodness back into them?"
Life Insurance: to be split between Mom and Dad
Emergency Records ... who gets called
battalion wants to know what to read
at your funeral, what songs to play
He looks up from the paperwork,
hard into my eyes:
"You said you wanted to know."
Now, Alice does not want to know the details that Matt offers up, but she needs to know, especially later when she searches her memories for guidance about what to do when it becomes clear that she and her mom and her sister must accommodate Matt's loss in their lives. As they launch their fragile flotilla to commemorate him, Alice realizes, that like any life, they are mutable: "just for a moment, a moment longer. Here. And then gone."
